Karen Whiting
Professional freelance writer with ten published books and hundreds of published articles.
My books are for women (time management and relations within the home), families (Christian devotionals and Bible stories) and tween girls (inspirational craft books). I've written for more than forty magazines, including serving as a contributing writer for Focus on the Family's parenting magazines. I also hosted Puppets on Parade, a Miami, FL educational puppetry show. I'm a mother of five and grandmother of five. I love spending time with family and taking adventure vacations.
My favorite writing topics are parenting, crafts, humorous anecdotes, and inspirational pieces. My blog is on my website. I also blog weekly for CAN (http://canblog.typepad.com/canbookmarketing/), on how to market and promote your book. I speak to moms and parents around the US, and have also spoken in Malaysia and Russia.
