Karen A. Romanko, Author

	Karen A. Romanko writes poetry and short stories in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. She has seen over 100 of her works published in venues such as Strange Horizons, Ideomancer, The Pedestal Magazine, EOTU Ezine, and Lone Star Stories. Karen's first poetry collection, Raven's Runes: Equations in Time, was released by Sam's Dot Publishing in 2004.
	When she switches literary hats, Karen edits and publishes the speculative fiction and mystery e-zine Raven Electrick, now in its eighth year. She's also dipped a toe into the pond of print publishing with the 42-author flash fiction and poetry anthology Sporty Spec: Games of the Fantastic, published by Raven Electrick Ink in November 2007. Sporty Spec is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers.
	When not hunched at the computer, Karen enjoys the sun of Southern California with her biologist husband, Bob Desharnais. A long-time movie buff, she loves the proximity to Tinseltown, but misses the fall foliage of her native Boston and always roots for the Red Sox.
