About this author

As a nine-year-old, Karen Sandler was a horse-crazy kid with an over-active imagination. When that pony she begged for didn’t appear on Christmas morning, she wrote about horses in poetry and stories. It took until she was an adult to both buy her first horse (the very unladylike Lady) and see her first book published. Since then, she’s sold seventeen other books. In addition to writing novels, short stories and screenplays, she loves riding her beautiful Andalusian/Morgan mare, Belle (who is very ladylike). She lives in Northern California with her husband, Gary, and three cats—pleasingly plump Tenka, formerly feral Zak, and cranky diabetic Casper.

In the last week, my son and daughter-in-law have both been awarded their PhDs in economics. To say I’m proud of them is an understatement. I’m pretty much doing the Snoopy dance of joy in response to their accomplishments. It’s made even more impressive by the fact that both of them achieved their bachelors degrees in three years rather than the usual four. And they did that by excelling in th...

Vodnik by Bryce Moore
Vodnik
by Bryce Moore (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
The best part about Vodnik is that it's set within a country and culture I've never read about before. There is much cool new (to me) folklore in the story, far beyond the typical vampire/werewolf/shapeshifter memes. The story is fast-paced, the humo...more

Such a fun book. Laugh out loud funny, with cats galore and a spunky, likeable heroine. I'd love to see more Cat Girl books.

The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
A very different kind of fantasy, moody and atmospheric. It reminds me of Ursula K. Le Guin's A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA, particularly the part of the book in which Ged is nearly enslaved in Terranon by Serret, the lord's wife. I also enjoyed the aspect wh...more

I've very much enjoyed all of Jasper Fforde's books, but this one I found especially wonderful. It was a very difficult to put down book. Also a very mind-blowing book for a writer to read, especially when said writer is in the throes of a deadline o...more
