The Desk of Karen Lee Field

I’m so happy to announce that the website is finally working. I’ve chosen to use Jekyll, which I’m new to so the coding is unfamiliar to me. I had a devil of a time getting things to work properly. Everytime I fixed an issue, it broke something else. I was getting close to giving up. But I didn’t and now I have a working, custom Jekyll website.

Over the past little while, my website has been undergoing a complete rebuild — new structure, new layout, new navigation, and a much cleaner way to explore everything I write. It’s been a big job behind the scenes, but I’m delighted to say the new version of The Desk of Karen Lee Field is now live. Although it has a long way to go before it’s finished.

Editing is where a story truly comes to life. It’s the stage where rough ideas sharpen into clear moments, characters deepen, and pacing finds its rhythm. Here are five simple editing tips that can strengthen any story:

This month I am pleased to present an interview with Australian author, Pamela Freeman, who has many publications to her credit - some of the titles for children and young adults include The Willow Tree’s Daughter, The Murderer’s Apprentice and the Network Mysteries; and for adult, The Casting Trilogy.

This month I had the pleasure of interviewing Ellen Jackson, author of over 60 children’s books.

This month I have the honour of interviewing Sean Williams, author of several publications including The Change trilogy, the Broken Land series and several Star Wars novels.

This month I have the pleasure of interviewing Kate Forsyth, author of several books, including The Puzzle Ring.

This month, I am proud to present an interview with Chris Howard, author of Seaborn.

Today’s interview is with Deborah Woehr, the author of Prosperity.
