About Me

Hum... Well, to start, my name is Kari (Kar--like the Car you drive, then long E) lol. I'm a twin. I'm definitely a nerd. I love to write. I have been playing guitar for ten solid years. I have been writing songs/lyrics for almost eleven years, the count there has just topped 4,000. I play a little on other instruments like piano, dulcimer, mandolin, bass, basically everything I can get my hands on. Creating music is my passion. I love to read and learn things. Currently, I'm working on writing book number twenty-eight. Umm... I love to draw. Mostly people I know. Family is really important to me. And the newest thing in my life is....I'm a PUBLISHED AUTHOR!––a dream come true for me. :-D! And I recently added screenwriter to my list. Two movies completed, several more in the works.

My Interests

MUSIC... I love anything and everything about music. From writing it, to recording and mixing it, to producing it... and sound waves and frequencies; all that stuff, too. Basically sound in general. WRITING, SINGING and PLAYING music; READING; MARTIAL ARTS; and a lot more that I can't think of...

I'd like to meet:

Already met him.

Music:

I like really any type of music. As long as a little effort was put into it, I can pretty much listen to anything.

Movies:

Movies... Hmm... Any movie that keeps me awake through the entire thing automatically becomes a favorite. lol Horror and comedies are usually the first pick, but it really depends on what mood I'm in. lol

Television:

I don't really watch TV. I don't like flipping through the channels looking for something interesting, cause I never find it. lol I do watch some of the WB shows, though. Those are good.

Books:

Everything.

Heroes:

My parents.
