Keynote Thursday June 12, 2014 9amKaren Winters Schwartz

Karen Winters Schwartz was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. She wrote her first truly good story at age seven. Her second-grade teacher, Mrs. Schneider, publicly and falsely accused her of plagiarism. She did not write again for forty years.

In-between, she moved to Columbus,

Ohio, where she spent thirteen years of her life pursuing a seemingly endless education at Ohio State University. She received her undergraduate degree in microbiology, her Master of Science in Immunology, and a Doctorate in Optometry. Winters Schwartz met her future husband, Paul, at a student optometric conference in Chicago. They were both slightly drunk and it was love at first sight. They married in 1987, moved to Central New York, and bought a house on the shores of Otisco Lake — the “pinky finger” of the Finger Lakes. There they began their lives together, their careers as optometrists, and raised two daughters, who are off to change the world — hopefully in a good way.

Winters Schwartz is an active board member of NAMI Syracuse (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and an advocate for mental illness awareness. This is her second novel and follow-up to her widely successful debut.
