Karen Black’s Summary
PREVIOUSLY
Since 1991, I've worked in the Canadian pension and benefit industry as a writer and communication consultant, having worked for two consulting firms, three Canadian group insurers and one pharmaceutical advertising firm.
CURRENTLY
Freelance communication consultant
Since 2007, I've been a freelance writer and communication consultant serving the Canadian pension and benefits industry. I'm equally comfortable working on investment, financial services and pharmaceutical projects as well.
Book consultant
For individual and corporate clients, I write, edit and provide consulting services for the development, publishing and promotion of fiction and non-fiction books.
Novelist
Moondance is a freethinking, emotionally-charged, highly addictive spin on love, life and the nature of reality.
In 2008 and 2009, Moondance was recognized in five different award categories, including Third Grand Prize for fiction at the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Publisher
I set up Ricochet Publishing up to publish and sell Moondance. I also have an agent relationship with Arnold Gosewich, who is handling international, foreign, television and film rights for Moondance.
Spritually curious
I'm a practicing karmic astrologer associated with Linda Brady of Creative Choices in Jay, Vermont. I also have an interest in personal development, spirituality and metaphysics, aligned with the themes that Moondance explores. For more, go to www.karenmblack.com.
