About this author

Karen Mead (1982-) was born on Long Island, New York and still lives there because she's too lazy to move. As a journalist/editor, Karen lives the double life of writer by day...writer by night. Okay, so maybe it's not much of a double life. When not writing for work or for fun, Karen also enjoys reading, drawing, playing games, playing with her My Little Ponies (which she liked BEFORE it was cool) and watching anime.


Good news, Book Two of the Familiar Series finally has a title: Succession of Witches. More importantly, I have a draft that I’m happy with and I think I’m going to be ready to publish it to Kindle pretty soon. I was disappointed that I couldn’t make my initial holidays 2012 release, so I definitely didn’t want to miss my spring 2013 deadline.

Reality Is Broken by Jane McGonigal
At the risk of being too punny, Reality Is Broken is a game-changer. It made me really think about all the time I've spent playing games over the course of my life-- time that, on some level, I'd always assumed was "wasted"-- in a completely differen...more

The Green Beauty Guide by Julie Gabriel
A useful book, but a little didactic. I agree with the author's contention that we surround ourselves with way too many potentially harmful chemicals in all our personal care products and cutting down on them seems like common sense, but the tone of...more

Jingo by Terry Pratchett
I always enjoy visits to Discworld, but sometimes (not always) I come away feeling like I must be missing something about the larger plot that I can't quite put my finger on; Jingo was definitely one of those. The books that focus on the Vimes and th...more

Fish Out of Water by MaryJanice Davidson
On the plus side, this book does wrap up all the plot threads from the Fred the Mermaid series nicely; I didn't feel like anything was left unexplained. However, I still find the main character, Fred, to be sufficiently hard to like that I have no id...more
