If for some unlikely reason you're asking, "Hey, where is Karina online?" the answer is: Instagram. Few words with occasional pictures of beads and hobbies and The Poodle. https://t.co/aaIpUn6NPa (I mean, mostly I'm still hiding from the internet, but I'm there *sometimes*.)

@DobesCrusher No, sadly -- though I do keep searching. In an interview in Locus from 1999 she mentions working on a sequel to The Merro Tree; I want that book! Can't help but wonder what happened

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

Every few years I search, and find no answer. What happened to author Katie Waitman? I absolutely loved her novel THE MERRO TREE.

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

Moved this spring. Rediscovered the fife and was delighted. Yes, of course I packed it so I can find it again next move.

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

Every time I move, I discover (with joy and surprise) that I own a fife.
Note: I do not know how to play the fife.

@blblanchard @SaraMegibow Congratulations, and happy book birthday!! 🎉🎉

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

@DCMcNaughton Yay, and belated welcome to the team!!

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

@kercoby My very favourite is Patchwork. It has lot more depth than it seems at first glance, and I'm happy to play it again and again.

@ChrisSzego I mean, it certainly seems on-brand for you.

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]

@K_Shelby_Tench Ooh, go-go-go!! Absolutely worth the effort -- and even "failing" would mean awesome progress.

[Karina Sumner-Smith @ksumnersmith]
