Biography

As a writer and a fan of the Mass Effect universe created by Bioware, I have created this Smashwords account to publish the fanfiction I have written based on the rich tapestry of Mass Effect.

I have been an avid writer for as long as I can remember - but have never applied myself to writing a full-length novel. That all changed when I experienced the Mass Effect trilogy of games. This gripping, visceral world of science fiction has spurred me on to create my novel, EndShard, and subsequent shorter pieces and novellas based on the universe of Mass Effect.

The characters, atmosphere and relationships I experienced along my journey through the games of Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 all brought me to spend a year or more of my life creating my book EndShard. Ultimately, that has brought me here.

I welcome any and all comments and communication. If you read and enjoy any of my material, please - share it. My writing exists purely to enrich our perception of Mass Effect universe, and for the enjoyment of my fellow fans. You may reach me via my Twitter account (@VakarianGirl), here on Smashwords, or email me at my personal email address - karenpolitte@gmail.com.
