Karen Bennett, from Baltimore MD, entered adulthood in the 1960s amongBeatniks and ‘starving’ artists. After leaving art studies and a first marriage, as a mother of three, Karen became a nurse practitioner working in correctionalinstitutions, including Riker’s Island, NYC jail. Her first fiction writing drew onher experience with women’s prisons, where “the extraordinary soon becomes the ordinary.” Since 2006, Karen’s life adventures and misadventures have nourished her fiction writing about an array of other topics--travel, choir, horses, ballet. Karen’s quest is to publish as many of her books as possible, while she is still on the “moving sidewalk of life.”Contact Information:Email: karen.s.bennett@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.karensbennett.comPublications:Beautiful Horseflesh (2021).
