Kara is Charlee’s mom. As a communication professional, Kara has spent the past 20 years in Corporate America. During that time, she has written and successfully executed countless corporate communication strategies. But, as she explains, “Losing my job in a merger/acquisition became a blessing, giving me time to pursue my creative writing.”

Excited that her first published book is about her darling Charlee, Kara explains how the illustrations are so accurately depicted by her talented niece, Morgan K. Buhler. “The fact that Morgan grew up with Charlee gives Morgan firsthand experience with Charlee’s personality – that, and Morgan is simply talented beyond my comprehension.”
