Karina's life is not nearly as fun or interesting as her books, which she believes is how it should be. As a founder, former president and now secretary of the Catholic Writers' Guild, she's pretty much led or kibitzed in everything, including the conferences. She also teaches writing and marketing at other conventions. Her writing is all over the place: Why God Matters, the devotional she wrote with her father, won the 2011 Christian Small Press Award for best Christian Living Book; while her hilarious fantasy novel, Magic, Mensa and Mayhem, won the 2010 INDIE for best fantasy. Her latest books are Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator and Infinite Space, Infinite God II, an anthology of Catholic Science Fiction. Karina has four terrific kids (you'll see her daughter Amber at the conference), a dog and a cat. She's married to the love of her live, Colonel Rob Fabian, who co-edited ISIG II with her.
