Karisa Magliozzi has always been surrounded by books. Her family often said she never went anywhere without one, and she grew up admiring authors such as Tamora Pierce, Clive Cussler, and Michelle Moran from an early age. She began writing as a teenager, but it wasn’t until her thirties that she felt inspired to fully develop her own stories. Drawing from elements of her real family history and a touch of magic, she created Guardians of Avalon.
Beyond writing, Karisa enjoys cooking, horseback riding, and anything Disney-related. She volunteers her time in costume, visiting children in hospitals as beloved characters to bring encouragement, joy, and gifts. She also enjoys attending Renaissance festivals and comic conventions, embracing immersive storytelling in all its forms.
Originally from Rhode Island and Massachusetts, she currently lives in Arizona with her husband, her incredible and amazing special-needs son, two tuxedo cats, and a corgi.

For centuries, the world has explained them away as folklore, hoaxes, and impossible sightings. Footprints with no creature. Shadows beneath dark water. Sailors’ tales of monsters no one could ever find.
