Karen Dale Trask
Biography
Born Karen Dale Stefaniak, and raised in Dearborn, Michigan, Karen had the opportunity to circumnavigate the globe by the ripe old age of 17. She experienced the treasures of the world first hand on her trips to many continents and countries by the age of 21. She then graduated with a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she majored in Advertising because she could wear jeans and tee shirts in that department, and she could better utilize her love of photography in that field.
In addition to photography and segmenting space, Karen also has had a love for writing and cinematography since elementary school. She has written over a dozen paranormal screenplays and novels, some of which are for sale via your favorite e-book retailer. Karen actually writes a screenplay first and then fleshes it out into novel format. Because of her background in design and photography, Karen creates her own novel and screenplay cover art.
Having always been a dreamer and list maker, she created a Big Dream To-Do List when she was just ten years old. The list included such things as travel the world and own land. A lot of land. Many decades later she can finally say that her dreams have all come true.
Karen and her husband are now living out their retirement years off-grid on their 48 acres of land in the middle of nowhere, which is actually located somewhere in New Mexico, U.S.A. She continues to take photographs, write her manuscripts, and design fabric when time permits between the many chores that need tending to on the ranch.
Dreams can come true, but first you have to DREAM, and then you have to BELIEVE. Being THANKFUL and GRATEFUL for everything IS everything, and HARD WORK is a given.

Great writing style. I smiled, then chuckled, then laughed. A great combination of characters and story line make this novel by Shana Saban a real page turner. I'm looking forward to reading more from Shana Saban. Something tells me it won't take Shana Saban another ten years to write her next book. At least I hope it won't.
