Hello and welcome to my blog, Karina.

Hi, and thanks for hosting me.

Let’s start with getting to know you a little better. List five things you feel define you as a person.

Family, Faith, Fiction, Fun, Workaholic. (Couldn’t think of a word for that that starts with F.)

Tell me a little bit about what you do with writing. What motivates you?

Usually the characters in my head. I’ll come up with an interesting idea for a character, and pretty soon, they are living their lives out in my mind–and telling me all about it or making me live it with them. I’ve often said that I write in order to stay sane.

Where did the inspiration for your story come from?

Which one? I have so many, and they come from a wide variety of sources. However, I’d never say my stories ideas come “from life.” “Snakes on a Spaceship” has nothing to do with my life–and I’m so grateful! (Incidentally, despite the title, it did not come from the movie, either. I refuse to watch the movie. I hate snakes.)
