Karin Cox edits and writes in her "spare time" while being a fulltime mum to a toddler and to a black cat with the improbable name of "Ping Pong."

She is the author of more than 40 trade-published natural history books, biographies, Australian social history books, children's picture storybooks, and travel guides, several of which have won awards. Karin has had poems and short stories published in anthologies worldwide and her ebooks CRUXIM (Book I of Dark Guardians Trilogy), CRECHE (Book II of Dark Guardians Trilogy), CREED (Book III of Dark Guardians Trilogy), GROWTH, CAGE LIFE, HEY LITTLE SISTER and PANCAKES ON SUNDAY are available on Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble.

Thankfully, the busier she gets, the more creative she is (and the more likely to afford to hire a housekeeper). You can follow her on twitter @Authorandeditor or visit her fanpage on Facebook www.facebook.com/KarinCox.Author.
