Karen Wojcik Berner is a writer and editor who began creating fiction at an early age with the production of her cardboard-bound classic, “The Car,” which chronicled the heartfelt struggle of an eight-year-old dealing with the sale of Betsy, the family Chevrolet. Although beautifully illustrated in crayon, it sold only one copy.
Many years later, Karen dabbled in fiction again, earning a double major in English and communication arts and sciences, only to realize money was required for survival in society, particularly the amount that gets one out of her parent’s house. She has worked as a magazine editor and contributor, freelance journalist and public relations coordinator.
Several years later, the character of Sarah, the invisible mom, intruded her thoughts during a shower, which Karen deemed quite rude considering it was the only five minutes she had to herself for the entire day, with a newborn baby and five year old to take care of. Soon after, Annie came to her in a particularly vivid dream. Back in the shower, Karen could not help but wonder what would happen if Sarah and Annie met? She delved into “A Whisper to a Scream” and has been writing fiction ever since.
A Whisper To A Scream is available in the Kindle store and will be released in paperback in early 2011. She is working on her second novel, tentatively titled "How Long 'Til My Soul Gets It Right?"
Karen's blog, Bibliophilic Blather, features "Editing for Grammarphobes" on Mondays and Wednesdays, plus "Flash Fiction Fridays," which showcases authors of various genres writing stories that incorporate monthly themes in 500 words or less.
