I received a new review for BAD BLOOD, Book 11: Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series:
 
5 Stars! “In the Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series finale, BAD BLOOD, Wiesner ties together all loose ends (including the spirit of the Umbra Law Firm) to bring about a very satisfying end to the problems haunting and causing havoc to Erie County. After feeling as though I knew some of these characters personally and for so long, I find myself a bit sad at the knowledge that I will never meet them again. (Not to mention how much I enjoy it when an author gets all mystical in the tale.) This story is exciting. Toward the ending, it became breathtaking. Literally. At one point I realized that I was holding my breath. Why? Zombies. (Yet, as my husband says, "Everything is better with zombies.") Karen Wiesner writes creative and intriguing stories that fluctuate between tugging on your heart strings, making you chuckle, and warming your soul.” ~Huntress Reviews

WORKS IN PROGRESS MOMENTS
 
https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/works-in-progress.html
 
In 2025, I intend to work as if I'm already retired, except in the case of whenever my publisher is ready to work on editing my last nine books for publication/issue (not counting an OOP children's book I hope will be reissued). In that case alone, I will work on a schedule. Otherwise, I'll just follow whatever makes sense to work on at any given time: 2025 WIP Goals: https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/works-in-progress.html
 
For the moment, my sporadic art practice (with the goal of illustrating children's books) is being displayed on my blog: https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/karens-quill-blog
