Karen Walczyk Prescott

A love of nature, including spelunking, hiking to waterfalls and walking in a forest inspired the author to write about the unique topography in Rumney, New Hampshire.

Babbling Brook Society, Waterfall Down Lodge and upcoming Cranny Nook Circle are location-based, delightful fantasy novellas grounded in historical accuracy, environmental science and respect for the Earth.

At the other end of the spectrum, she wrote a creative non-fiction novel Polish Mother, after a trip to Poland, the help of a Polish genealogist and a great deal of support from a third generation Polish-American (her beloved mother). Her great-grandmother and grandmother are typical devoted Polish mothers who honor God, family and country with prayer, food and patriotism. “Nobody knows the work it takes to keep the home together; nobody knows the steps its takes; nobody knows - but Mother. (The Ladies Home Journal, May 1912)
