One-Line Bio

I am a published writer working on my 2nd novel whilst making sure my little family have everything they need.

Biography

I am writer Karen Roderick and I live in the U.K. with my husband, 2 boys, 3 cats, and I never leave home without a notebook and pen. I am heavily influenced by music, books, sex, love, family, people, places, clothes, food, fine wine and dining, art and travel. My passions include Tom Delonge, eating olives, the ocean, flip flops and Cath Kidston.
