Then a tax refund changed everything, With the money the family decided to invest in a computer, Karma was forced to learn to type, Combining her desire to make the expensive computer pay for itself, her new found typing skill, and her love of childrens literature, Karma started writing for children.
She wanted to put a few good books on the library shelves and pay off that computer! Countless rejections and three years later Karma was finally accepted by book agent Steven Malk who had already rejected her once, which she never lets him forget.
Her first book, Bear Snores On, was released in, The computer was paid for!Since then Karma has had thanbooks accepted for publication, Many of those are on the shelves of libraries and bookstores around the world, Her books have received numerous state and national awards, been translated into dozens of languages, and a few have made an appearance on the New York Times bestseller list.
