4.2/5 ( ratings)

Karen J Carlisle is a writer and illustrator of speculative fiction - steampunk, Victorian mystery and fantasy.
She graduated in 1986, from Queensland Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Optometry and lives in Adelaide with her family and the ghost of her ancient Devon Rex cat.
Karen first fell in love with science fiction when she saw Doctor Who as a four-year old . This was reinforced when, at the age of twelve, she saw her first Star Destroyer. She started various other long-term affairs with fantasy fiction, role-playing, gardening, historical re-creation and steampunk – in that order.

Her first book, Doctor Jack and Other Tales, was published in 2015. She has had articles published in Australian Realms Roleplaying Magazine and Cockatrice . Her short story, An Eye for Detail, was short-listed by the Australian Literature Review in their 2013 Murder/Mystery Short Story Competition. Karen's short story, Hunted, is featured in the Trail of Tales exhibition in the Adelaide Fringe, 2016.

She currently writes full-time and can often be found plotting fantastical, piratical or airship adventures.

Karen has always loved chocolate - dark preferred - and rarely refuses a cup of tea.

She is not keen on the South Australian summers.
