Karen L. Jones teaches high school English for the Medina Central School District, and also teaches writing and composition at Genesee Community College in Medina, New York.

Her poetry has been published by the literary magazine Papercut; her essays and nonfiction work have been published by InPittsburgh Newsweekly, The Medina Journal Register, and The Buffalo News. Jones is married to Ric Jones, independent music publisher and freelance web designer extraordinaire. They have three amazing boys: Nicholas, Ryder, and River, all of whom are being raised to equate music and books with food and shelter.
