Karina McRoberts
Biography
I write intelligent fiction - currently in four genres - historical romance/adventure fiction, epic fantasy, ghost stories, and comic fantasy. Books to enthrall and delight, entertain and enlighten. Fabulous characters and plenty of surprises. Lots of interesting author's notes for book club people!
Writing since 2013, Karina McRoberts has published five novels in two genres - a time travel adventure/romance series (The Palace of the Stars and The Mine's Eye) and an epic fantasy trilogy with a female lead and modern themes (Chelandra, Master of the World, and Juggernaut). Her smaller works include an anthology and a short-story (The Haunting of York - A Ghostly Anthology and Lost and Found - A Ghost Story).
Karina derives inspiration from living in a beautiful forest, while working with her husband to restore the remainder of their environs from degraded farmland to habitat for wildlife. Tahshi, their wonder dog extraordinaire, is a friend to all.
In addition to being an avid conservationist, Karina is a musician with a keen interest in world and renaissance music. She has wandered very far and been engaged in a variety of professions, ranging from migrant sweat-shop labourer to research scientist. Recently, she's been busy as a lizard surgeon and sometime snake handler.
Karina has intense interests in the evolution of social justice and the expansion of human (and animal) consciousness.
Never at a loss for inspiration, she aims to bring her readers entertainment, enlightenment and, most of all, pure enjoyment!
Karina is presently hard at work on her next novel, The Light, Book Three of the Harker Investigates Mysteries.

Lost and Found - a Ghost Story, is a biting, intriguing short story in the classic gothic mode. Avalon Durrell is lost; having escaped from a mental institution where she is either justly or unjustly a patient. Is she completely bonkers, or is she truly being haunted, by some thing or someone residing at the old house on the cliff? Is Ava in love with a ghost who is gradually destroying her?
