Coming up with the idea was something out of the left field. Karen shares an anecdote of being approached by a guy who had started a publishing company in Minnesota.

Karen Laven Bio:
About me… Me… ME! I am a former newspaper reporter and author of multiple books of fiction and nonfiction, including, Cincinnati Ghosts, Dayton Ghosts, Quit Bugging Me, and, The Surrogate Who Cleaned Up.
I am a public speaker as well and have given presentations at the Victory of Light convention and numerous libraries, schools, and facilities. In addition, I am a humorist and actress because I’m nuts. Before riding the stairlift in Med Mart’s commercial (it was exhausting), I appeared in the trailer of the movie, Sugar and Spice, and was a featured extra on set for Drop Dead Gorgeous, Joe Somebody, and many indie films. My favorite role to date is playing the mother of a killer in the TruTV show, Psychic Detectives (with ad-libbed lines!).
I also wrote and performed a piece for True Theatre at The Know Theatre in Cincinnati. I live in the Cincinnati Tri-State area with some other people who don’t appreciate me, Me, and ME nearly as much as they should, Should, SHOULD, and an ancient, cantankerous and beloved toy poodle. I am currently writing and compiling true stories for my upcoming book revolving around Ohio paranormal stuff including Crypto stories this time. Fun!
