About Karen Deal Robinson

I have been writing fiction since I was ten years old, which was in 1966. I began publishing on lulu in 2004, mostly fiction, but also a couple of nonfiction books: "Letters from the Goddess" is about prayer journaling, and "Enemy Spies" is a history book for middle-grade readers. I also transcribed and published a memoir by my father-in-law, from taped interviews made before his death. It's called "Coal Miner's Son." It includes his childhood in a coal-mining town and his experiences in World War II. My early fiction was mostly fantasy, but I also have written magic realism and science fiction. My early fantasy became a four-volume series: "Firithyleleni," "Reunion in Lorliale," "The Last Song of Leleni Mihaien," and "Shantele's Star." The magnum opus of my later years was a magic realism saga called "Beyond the Wall." It takes place in the landscapes of my Colorado home, and the imagined landscapes of Heaven. My NaNoWriNo book, which I write while working full time, is called "Sea Star," and is a mainstream story about dealing with grief after the loss of a mother and finding joy in the process. Besides those, I have written many other stories and novels, while working full time as a mathematics professor at a community college, raising a family, playing several musical instruments, and hiking with my husband in our beloved Rocky Mountain National Park. I am a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, and much of that ethic has made its way into my work as well.
