NEW AUTHOR
The Book
I did a big thing, well I really did two things: I cut off my thumb, and I wrote a book about it.

The New Story Project
Everyone has experienced a life-changing moment or “dead-end” that gave them a good shake. I am sharing their story and celebrating the new story they have created for themselves. I call it The New Story Project.

EVENTS
Speaking
Invite me to speak at your event! I speak about living a life with no “dead-ends” and finding your power after traumatic experiences.

ABOUT
About Karissa
I’m Karissa, a butcher turned author who cut off her thumb and learned to write about it. More recently, I have turned my attention to others who have experienced trauma, and I’m learning to write their stories–their new ones.

Let’s share some shit.
I bet your path has some interesting corkscrews, and I’d really like to hear about it and help you craft your story. If you have a story you’d like to share, I’d love to hear it.
