    Karina Fabian uses her God-given gifts to put her characters in ridiculous situations then laughs maniacally as they work themselves out of it. Fortunately for her (and the state of her soul), they do, much to the amusement of readers. A part-time comedienne and freelance writer, she’s managed to write over 40 books. She lives in Florida with her rocket scientist husband. Find her books at http://karinafabian.com.
