Welcome!
LK Hunsaker writes art-infused relationship fiction for those who
love deep characters, family backgrounds, and a casual literary
style.
Also an artist in some right, trained early by her artistic family
as well as traditional art classes, she uses art as relaxing play
time (as well as within her stories). With no pretentions of being a
"professional" artist, she's more likely to share it as gifts or
donations than as straight sales. She does do some artwork for her
husband and son's wood restoration and custom build business,
Hunsaker Woodcraft, as well as running the admin/social media for
it.
Raised in a tiny farm town in central Illinois among a large
close-knit family, LK earned a liberal arts degree from
Illinois Central College while debating her direction, transferred
to Eureka College to major in psychology with art and English minor
work, married into the U.S. Army, and raised two children while
moving and traveling around the States and Europe with her husband.
Completing her degree from UMUC, in between all of the moving
around, kid rearing, and various jobs, she applies what she learned,
both in school and out, to her realistic fiction.
LK is now settled in western Pennsylvania amid her two grown
children, their spouses, and a handful of busy, bustling
grandchildren she tends to call Banshees (for good reason). In her
down time, she plays with gardening, creates art and art projects
for the Banshees when not getting them to dance lessons and baseball
games, spoils two adopted rescue kitties and a too-energetic adopted
puppy, and sometimes tries to pretend she's learning how to play
piano and guitar. Music helps to keep her sane, along with
occasional scenic views from the back of the Harley, often with
camera in hand. Oh, and watching the Pittsburgh Pirates, whatever
their record (sigh), often while reading someone else's fiction.
Along with organizing and assisting local community activities, LK
is a strong advocate for children and mental health issues. As she
can, she encourages the arts for everyone and especially creative
and personal journaling for self-healing.
Do an Art. Any Art. It's good for the soul.
