"If God didn't give me a sense of humour, I wouldn't have survived" Kari was born and bred in Yorkshire, UK and is a "proper Leeds Lass." After the success of her first published book, "Kaleidoscope" which was based on her journey through her life; all the good, the bad & the ugly, she is now showing you all her fun side, her wicked sense of humour and her 'Mixed & Matched' thoughts. After being diagnosed with heart and lung problems, she is now just living her life to the fullest. She is creating and ticking off things on her wish list with the help of her two children, Shane and Trudi, and her three grandsons, Ben, Max & Phoenix. Kari hopes you have as much fun reading "Mix & Match" as she did writing it.
