Engrossed in the world of words, she forgot to apply to universities. She hastily copied her friend’s application forms and found herself studying information technology for three tedious years. After an uninspiring stint in IT consulting, she parted ways with programming and pursued a rewarding career in Public Relations. In 2006, Angela and her husband moved to Hong Kong where she now spends her adult years performing multiple roles as a mother of three, a writer and communications strategist, and a book-devouring addict.

After a blissful childhood of beach, books, imagination and travel, she attended university in Melbourne. Unsure of what one does with a degree in international relations and medieval history, she went backpacking until a cash shortage saw her working at an investment management firm in London. Whilst there, she interviewed the dashing British analyst who later became her husband. A travel-obsessive with a penchant for moving house, Karen jumped at the chance to accompany him to Hong Kong with their baby son in 2011. Now with a feisty little daughter to keep her son in line, Karen spends her days writing, refereeing arguments and finding excuses not to cook.
