Demonic Cafe Book 5 Returns to Amazon
After two years of being unavailable, the fifth book of Demonic Cafe is now back in the Amazon store. I thought I would take this time to go into what happened with this book, which may be of interest to some readers; if you’re not interested, I won’t be offended:). A few years back, I…

Some Notes on the Writing Process
I don’t write too much about my writing process because I know most people don’t care. However, some visitors to my website may be wondering “Hey, how come Karen is blogging so much but she isn’t putting out any books?” If you are in this category, this post should answer your question. I’ve always been…

Book 5? What Book 5?
I have deleted Demonic Cafe Book Five, Always A Golem, Never a Bride from Amazon. I initially said I wasn’t going to do this and just learn to live with it the way it is, but I realized I couldn’t do that. The book got a 1-star rating on Amazon, which is not in and…

Aeka Bunny Girl
I did an assignment for my Storyboarding class that involved Aeka dressed up in a Bunny Girl costume, and I liked the idea so much I wanted to draw it some more. There are a lot of problems here, things that I can see even through my pesky “proportion blindness,” but the point of the…

More Sketches
Continuing with my “Drawing for the sake of drawing” project, here are a few more sketches, all of Aeka. She looks very masculine in #2, not sure quite how that happened, but there are things I like here. Drawing characters super-deformed (SD) is always fun for me.

I drew something kind of cool
I haven’t been spending much time drawing because I’m bummed out that I lost the muscle memory for it that I used to have years ago, when I drew every day. It finally hit me the other day that “Having not drawn makes me sad, so I will continue to not draw,” was not a…

El Problem con la Magia Negra
I’m late to be posting about this, since it’s actually been available for a little while already, but the first book of Demonic Café is now available in Spanish. I’d like to get the word out on this so that the translator will get some more compensation, because she’s the one who did all the…

Cassie and a Friend
This is the art for the first cover of Random Acts of Sorcery, back when the series had a different name. I should have gotten professional covers much earlier than I did (my biggest mistake in publishing, really) but I still have a lot of fondness for this image. I think the colors look really…

My Best Drawing, Evil Sam
I think we can all agree that this is the best thing I have ever drawn, or will draw. Really, I can really stop drawing now– I mean, CLEARLY it’s all downhill from here. There’s no following this.

Some of these drawings are weird
Here’s another sketch from my seemingly limitless pile of old sketches of these characters. This was back when Sam and Aeka were the main couple, which is funny to me, because they have very little to do with each other nowadays. This is a really uncharacteristic sketch from me because of the OMG SEX kind…
