About Karlene

I'm a freelance writer and paralegal who began my writing journey as a teenager, publishing poems, articles, and short stories in local Jamaican newspapers. My passion evolved from inspirational books to my current focus on children's literature, particularly the beloved Joe Dreamer picture book series. Based in the Cayman Islands, I regularly participate in local book fairs and readings, sharing the joy of storytelling with young audiences while making my books available worldwide through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
