Karin Cox edits and writes in her "spare time" while being a fulltime mum to a toddler and to a black cat with the improbable name of "Ping Pong." She is the author of more than 40 trade-published natural history books, biographies, Australian social history books, children’s picture storybooks, and travel guides, several of which have won awards. Karin has had poems and short stories published in anthologies worldwide and her ebooks CRUXIM, CRECHE, CREED, WHAT THE SEA WANTS, GROWTH, CAGE LIFE and CROWS & OTHER BEASTS are available on Amazon. Thankfully, the busier she gets, the more creative she is (and the more likely to afford to hire a housekeeper). Karin and her partner live in sunny Australia, where she writes from her deck (overlooking the pool), her study (overlooking her messy desk) or her couch (overlooking Dr Phil, who gives her a lot of inspiration).
