Über den Autor
Karen L. Abrahamson writes mystery, fantasy and romantic fiction, and often likes to blend all three. She's best known for her American Geological Survey urban fantasy series that involves a race of beings who can change the world through their maps. Her first mystery novel, Through Dark Water, is set on the wild coast of British Columbia, Canada. Many of her stories take place in exotic settings around the world, in places she has lived or visited. She has a special affection for Myanmar/Burma, its people, nats and puppets. Karen currently lives on the west coast of Canada with bald eagles, bears and the Pacific Ocean as neighbours.
