Karen McCoullough
Karen McCullough was born in New York and lived there until her family moved to the Boston area when she was a teenager. She grew up in a household filled with books. By her sixteenth birthday, she'd devoured all the mysteries she could find in her father's extensive library, especially enjoying Agatha Christie's and Rex Stout's works. Reading became an addiction from which she's never recovered. When a friend lent her a stack of science fiction novels in her teens, she found more imaginative doors opening.
In the course of a varied career, she's been a social worker, retail clerk, apartment complex manager, computer programmer, associate and managing editor of a group of trade publications, director of electronic media, and senior web editor. She retired to start her own business as a web designer/developer and to devote more time to her writing. She continues to fill the little spare time she has with dips into the mystery, fantasy, science fiction and romance genres.
Karen has sold a number of short stories to romance and science fiction magazines. She's also published six romantic mystery/suspense novels, two romantic fantasy novels, and a fantasy role-playing game tie-in book. She collects dragon figurines and images.
