Karissa H. B. is an independent author based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Rogue of The South is her debut novel which began as a prompt from a therapist to write out her trauma, and snowballed into a full length, six part series because her brain couldn’t let it go. When she isn’t writing, you’ll find her dancing in the living room with her kids, sketching, or contemplating if one more chapter of her current read is worth the sleep loss. (The answer is always yes.)

      Throughout every phase of her life, writing has been an anchor. Her work is always based on the idea that every emotion we experience as humans, even the ones we try to hide away, can be viewed as beautiful.
