Karrie Bunting

Biography

Born and raised in Bakersfield, California, Karrie Bunting moved to the mountains in 2005 from the suburbs. She currently lives in the Southern Sierra Nevada mountains with her husband Ryan, and four children: Kacy, Will, Ed, and Jessie. She loves to read and eat at the same time. Her favorite genres to read are young adult fiction, mysteries, and anything that is not too sappy. She volunteers at her kids' school, teaching music there every Friday, coaching girls' basketball, and serving on the school board. Her kids' antics keep her highly amused and are the best source of free entertainment. She graduated with a BA degree in Child Development, holds a multiple subject teaching credential (but doesn't teach), and is going to take the California Bar exam this summer. She is working on running a 5k in under 30 minutes and a 10k in under an hour, but her love of peanut butter and pasta keeps getting in her way just a bit!

Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk
Messy. Planner to the left, pen collection to the right. In the middle is a laptop that doesn't always like to turn on! On the wall are copious amounts of Post-it notes, all in different sizes and colors. I suppose one would call this my idea wall, or as I like to think of it: the place where I throw all my random ideas and pieces of information. My desk is the hub of my family life, my personal education, and any paperwork that comes into the house. Now that I'm looking at it, it could use some organizing.
When did you first start writing?
I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I have had a love of blank books and pens since I can remember. I am, in fact, a pen nerd. I have certain pens that I do not let my children or friends borrow. (I am that person, yes.) I decided to write "Trailer Life" after many of my Facebook friends told me that I should write a book! It is a scary thing to write for others. What if they don't like it? What if they think I'm a total weirdo? I'm not sure I will consider myself a real writer, ever. It's kind of like me and running: I enjoy it, I'm not sure I'm super awesome at it, and I'm not sure when or if I will ever consider myself to be a "real runner."
