Karen Barkan

Biography

My name is Karen Barkan - born and raised in a place surrounded by a wild mysterious desert, which had been an imagination fertilizer and a perfect inspiration for my writing. In 2006 I relocated to NJ and although I was breathing and living the desert my whole life, I got completely hooked by the green scenery of NJ, fell in love with the culture, and my heart was completely captured by the people here.

So…besides writing and reading, I play the guitar, the piano…and I so want to add Sax, but not yet.

My favorite sport is ski and roller hockey, and I’m also a big fan of the Flyers!

I hold a Bachelor degree in education and Master degree in Human Resource Management.

Did I mention I have spent my last 10 years in analyzing corporates information systems? But being an author in the past year, and writing “Lost In Time – Mirage” was the greatest adventure I have ever had, and it is my pleasure to share it with my readers.

I hope you would enjoy Lost In Time – Mirage as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
I'm a natural dreamer. I was born in a boring place, that naturally fertilized my imagination. My imagination took me to magical places where everything I want is possible. I spent a lot of time day dreaming. Later in high school I wrote my first short story, and continued writing in college.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy of writing is in the creation itself. Being able to create characters, plot, a whole world - this is magic!
