About the Writer

If I were very talkative as a kid I would've been one of those kids who asked a zillion questions because I want to know the who's, what, whys about things. Instead, I found stimulation in other ways. I read a lot of books, explored outdoors day and night, walked for hours, and worked for pay beginning at age 10 at a variety of jobs (babysitting, berry picking, parks and rec job, fast food-- all of these before I turned 18). With all that I even managed to graduate high school, though it bored me to death (I still don't appreciate rote memorization).

My tastes have changed. In middle school I had a tragic romantic phase (didn't have any, just read about them). Then in high school I read many books about mental illness and the supernatural. I started down the wayward path a little, but soon ended up independent and living in Seattle, working and grocery shopping and having misadventures.

Nowadays, in my 50s, I still read and go on adventures. I volunteer. I am a good enough mom to my 21-yr old daughter. I majored in journalism because I love interviewing people and hearing their stories. Because I'm curious. Aren't you? I welcome and encourage story ideas, photos, and comments. ~Karlee
