At the age of eight, Kara visited the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto for the first time. Like many children, she marveled at the massive 'bone animals' on display in the dinosaur exhibit. That day, her first dinosaur book was bought and a seed was planted as to the future of her life. Kara has a B.Sc. from Brock University, and a post-graduate certificate in Geographic Information Systems from Niagara College. In 2005, she graduated from the Geology department at the University at Buffalo with a Master's degree. in Vertebrate Palaeontology. As a graduate student, she traveled to Oberlin, Kansas where she and her professor began excavating a small fossil quarry. What started out as an ordinary dig, turned into an interesting and unusual discovery. Excavations revealed two rhinoceros (Teleoceras fossiger) calves and a single claw of a horned rodent. Her research peaked the interest of the Senior Editor, Sciences, Office of News Services at the University at Buffalo where Kara and her professors were interviewed. The story first ran in the Wichita Eagle and then went on to The Associated Press national news wire where it was later picked up and shown on CNN's news scroll. She is the author of 'The Siamese Mummy' and 'The Unearthlings'. Today, Kara continues to live in Niagara Falls with her three Siamese cats Apollo, Achilles and Agamemnon, and enjoys spending time with her horse Dapplynn.- www.theivoryowl.com
