The Author
Welcome to The Forest of Eternal Books. I'm Karlene! I'm a working mom, discovering my passion for writing. My journey began with a spark of creativity that has since blossomed into my debut novel, "Blood From Another." This novel reflects my experiences as a mother and magical imagination. I’m excited to share it with the world. Join me as I navigate the challenges of motherhood while pursuing my dream of becoming an author.

My Story
As an introverted soul, I find solace in the pages of books. I work full time. Spending early weekend mornings writing pieces of my book. I plan out what I want to write during the week and let my creativity flow whenever I have time. I love to be outside. Often you will find me on my porch with my son, playing in his outdoor kitchen.
My grandmother loved to write. She had a notebook she took everywhere she went. She would write short stories, poems or really anything that came to mind. I always asked her to read them to me because I was curious. She created magic through her stories. My Mom has continued my love for writing. She turned her dining room into a library. Books line the walls from floor to ceiling.
After my son was born, I struggled with postpartum depression. I felt like I completely lost who I was. Eventually I realized I had. I became a mother, an artist and a creator. My son helped me see wonder and look at the world differently. Join me on this magical journey where I am rediscovering myself through writing.
