K. B. Bogen

K.B. Bogen began writing at the tender age of 7, starting with poetry and eventually progressing to fiction. She usually jotted her ideas on anything she could find - notepads, greeting cards, book reports... When she completed her first "story," she snuck into her father's office and borrowed his typewriter (without asking first) to type the three-page manuscript, entitled "Cosmic Journey." Since then, she has continued to jot down ideas whenever she can, but these days she uses her smart phone or iPad.

She has a head for technology, a knack for humor, and a taste for the macabre. Her favorite form of communication is humor, preferring to make people laugh rather than cry, though she is not above causing the occasional shiver in her audience. A native Texan, she holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Engineering from UT Arlington, as well as several health and nutrition certifications. She has worked as a source control manager, technical writer, bookkeeper, personal trainer, aerobic instructor, and professional balloon artist. Currently full-time wife and mother, part-time copyeditor and writer, Karen is “jacq of all trades.” She plays domestic when she has to, knits compulsively, and reads forensic anthropology textbooks for fun.
