<p>Some of Karissa’s favorite things are coffee, chocolate, and superheroes, and she can quote Princess Bride verbatim. She loves to read and has a sweet tooth for speculative fiction. Sometimes her family convinces her to put down the books and take the motorcycles out for a spin, or they’ll haunt flea markets, searching for rusty scraps to reuse and re-purpose. Karissa lives in North Carolina with her kid, her husband, the occasional in-law, and a very hairy husky named Bonnie.</p><p>Karissa is also the author of the adult Urban Fantasy series, <em>The Norse Chronicles</em>, where she puts a modern twist on ancient myths. The first book, <em>Midnight Burning</em> is available now. Her first effort with Evolved Publishing will be the <em>Stormbourne Chronicles</em>, a Young Adult Fantasy series.</p>
