Karen Mahoney gave up on her dreams of being Wonder Woman a long time ago, but has instead settled for being a writer of contemporary or 'urban' fantasy. Karen u or Kaz, as many of her friends call her u has been published alongside some of her favourite authors, in anthologies like THE ETERNAL KISS and KISS ME DEADLY (both published by Random House Australia). She is still in complete shock about this. Her debut YA novel is THE IRON WITCH. She is British and currently lives in London, though she dreams of one day living in Boston.
