Karrie Loomis

Karrie's passion for travel, photography, and the art of storytelling has woven a rich tapestry throughout her life’s journey. After growing up in Michigan, she embarked on an adventurous path by enlisting in the Navy for six years as an Electronics Technician. Though she's lived Virginia Beach for over two decades, she still calls Michigan home.

“The Rocking Horse,” Karrie's debut book, is a middle-grade fiction centered around the theme of stranger danger. Currently, her writing ventures encompass personal essays and science fiction. Karrie's writing has appeared in The Sun Magazine. To stay active in our local literary community, she teaches at the Muse and serves as Hampton Roads Writer's treasurer and assistant conference director. Karrie also facilitates writers retreats and offers mentoring sessions on character development and creativity. In addition to her writing pursuits, Karrie is a Reiki Master, Meditation Mentor, and holds an M.A. in Transpersonal Psychology.
