Writing has always been central to Karen M. Leet’s identity, shaping who she is, who she has been, and who she will always be. She wrote her first “book” at the age of ten, a story about horses, reflecting a lifelong love of animals of all kinds.
Over the years, writing has remained essential to her. Her work spans fiction, articles and poetry for readers of all ages. Her published books include Sarah’s Courage, a middle-grade novel from The History Press, as well as a co-authored nonfiction Civil War title, also published by The History Press.
Her subject matter is wide-ranging, from disasters such as earthquakes and the Titanic, to aviation, caves, animal poetry, love stories and disaster preparedness. Curiosity and versatility define her writing.
More recently, she has become immersed in the world of corporate compliance. Collaborating with newsletter team members has proven both fascinating and creatively energising. Their written contributions, discussions and debates continually spark new story ideas. The online newsletter serves as an ongoing source of inspiration, bringing to life the complex, multifaceted world of compliance and the individuals who work within it — stories that aim to resonate with and engage readers.
