Karen Chilton is terrible at math. She was warned that this would be the case, as she spent most math classes hiding out at the back of the classroom, scribbling fiction. If a train leaves Boston at 10 a.m. traveling west at 100 mph and another train leaves Chicago at 11 a.m. traveling east at 80 mph, at what point will they pass one another? Karen sometimes wishes she knew.
Karen is the author of the Ghost Girls Books series of young adult novels, including The Haunting on Devil’s Den Road, The Ghost at Widower’s Pond, and the forthcoming The Phantom Ship at Castle Hill. She also teaches writing and visits schools to promote literacy and foster an interest in history.
Karen lives in Rhode Island with her best friend Andrew, her son Ryan, a dog named Harry, a cat named Godzilla, and a hermit crab named Batman.
Karen still enjoys scribbling fiction, especially now that she gets paid to do it, instead of getting in trouble.
She is grateful her cell phone has a calculator.
