Welcome to the Chaos — I Mean, My Corner of the Internet
A little sass, a lot of coffee, and a whole lot of real talk.
Hey there, and welcome to my little digital home. I’m Karen — writer, puzzle book maker, special needs mama, recovering perfectionist, and full-time coffee-dependent life juggler.
This blog? It’s where I share the real stuff.
Not just the “here’s how to format your book” kind of posts (though, yeah, we’ll get to that), but also the real-life behind the hustle:
- ☕ The chaotic beauty of self-publishing
- 👣 The joys and curveballs of parenting a child with Down syndrome
- 🧠 The business brain meets bedtime routines
- 📚 And all the little wins that deserve to be celebrated
I’ve been in the Amazon KDP trenches for a few years now — publishing under a few different pen names, learning the ropes the hard way (with a few “oops” moments I now wear like badges of honor), and slowly but surely building something I’m proud of.
But I’m not just a publisher. I’m also a mom to five — including my youngest, Jimmy, who rocks his extra chromosome like the superstar he is. My life is full of love, noise, mismatched socks, and moments that deserve their own chapters. So I’m writing them.
“This site is part business, part heart, and part ‘hold my coffee while I figure this out.’”
This site is part business, part heart, and part “hold my coffee while I figure this out.”
So pull up a chair. You’re welcome here whether you’re:
- A fellow KDP dreamer chasing passive income
- A parent navigating the special needs world with humor and grace
- Or someone who just likes their blog posts served with a side of sass
Let’s talk life. Let’s talk books. Let’s talk about chasing goals while wearing yesterday’s pants and doing our best anyway.
Thanks for being here.
Let’s make some magic (and maybe a mess, but the good kind).
💛 Karen
