In this episode we chat with Karen Shock
Karen Shock’s love for writing began when she received her first diary as a young girl. The lock and key made it easy for her to tell the diary some honest, dramatic truths about herself. All these years later, she still loves to put pen to paper and write out her deepest longings, wildest dreams, and biggest fears. The only difference now is there is no longer a lock and key on her thoughts. As time went on, she began to understand that putting the truth out there for the whole world to read might be scary, but the vulnerability was worth the risk. She wants readers to know that they are not alone. Karen lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with her husband Kevin. They have four adult children, 4 grandchildren and one on the way. She is currently a writer for Patheos and has her first book, Too Much and Not Enough, coming out on April 18th.
