Caroline Karnatz | Author & Ecologist
You’ve never read fantasy like this.
About Caroline
Caroline is a Montana-based ecologist and author whose love affair with nature and stories began before she could walk. She was born in Georgia and grew up in the oak-hickory-beech forests of the Piedmont, dodging venomous snakes by the creek, devouring library books, and marveling at wildlife. Her life changed forever in middle school when she read David Clement-Davies’ The Sight and knew she needed to write her own stories that engrossed and captivated the reader.
Caroline writes fantasy, but fantasy as you’ve never experienced it. What if there was no Sword that Seals the Darkness? No Elder Wand? No mystically gifted “chosen one,” and no magic safety nets to fall back on? The idea of a secondary world replete with timeless fantasy mainstays—devoted friends, perilous quests, gutting betrayals—but no magic system to mysteriously overpower the characters or level the playing field fascinated her. She dwelt on it until she realized she had her story, one similar to beloved fantasy classics yet unlike anything she’d ever read.
She is actively querying that project, WHILE I AM ALIVE, and can’t wait for you to read it.
