Karen Mead (1982-) was born on Long Island, New York and still lives there because she's too lazy to move. As a journalist/editor, Karen lives the double life of writer by day...writer by night.

Low-priced Demons

Just did a price drop on my entire Demonic Cafe series. The first book, The Problem with Black Magic, is just $0.99, while the other books are $2.99.

I know a lot of you are busy with Christmas shopping and other holiday activities, but when you feel like kicking back and taking a break, this affordably priced series will be there for you:).
