Twisted Fairy Tales, Lovecraftian Dates and More
I suppose this is going to cost me my internet anonymity, if I ever actually had any, but I can’t not mention it. I’ve explained the types of stories I write on my author website KarenDBest.com, so if you’re interested in reading that, it’s available. You can also read a synopsis and the first story of the collection at Beating Windward Press.
It is a bit odd integrating my writing here with my real name and fiction work. Not that I think the two are unrelated in my mind, but I like maintaining different functional personas. I’m not necessarily comfortable having people who know me from other contexts reading my work, but I guess that’s one of those introvert things that I have to get over once bits of my psyche make it out into the public.

You are braver than me! I created the “Carrie Carolin” persona to hide my real name back in the day. Not that I was ashamed of being goth, but it made sense then to separate my real (though heavily goth) life from my online goth endeavors and websites. I still can’t seem to integrate the two personas, though my real name is clearly known now.
