Karen Bennett, from Baltimore MD, entered adulthood in the 1960s among Beatniks and ‘starving’ artists. After leaving art studies and a first marriage, as a mother of three, Karen became a nurse practitioner working in correctional institutions, including Riker’s Island, NYC jail. Her first fiction writing drew on her experience with women’s prisons, where “the extraordinary soon becomes the ordinary.” Since 2006, Karen’s life adventures and misadventures have nourished her fiction writing about an array of other topics–travel, choir, horses, ballet. Karen’s quest is to publish as many of her books as possible, while she is still on the “moving sidewalk of life.”
Everything I’ve experienced and thought about, I’ve written about it. – Karen Bennett
