Dargo,
Eco Hero! by Karina McRoberts gives me the best kind of Wizard of Oz vibes. The
author has nailed the same type of warmth as L. Frank Baum but puts her own
unique spin on main character Dargo and his band of merry cohorts. I was
especially impressed with the mixture of personification and metaphors found
throughout the writing. The imagery she creates leaves readers breathless at
times. Her writing is timely and gives voice to the environment in a way no
other writer I have seen has been able to do.
Karina is an American-Australian author, illustrator, musician, scientist and theatre producer. She considers herself to be a true Renaissance woman and strives to help other women achieve the same. She states, "After all, ladies, we didn't get a chance last time!!!!"
She has written several novels in a variety of genres, her fiction is character rich and emotionally engaging, and her stories have won several awards.
Previously working as a conservation scientist, Karina was struck down by a mosquito-borne virus. No longer able to work, she turned her attention to writing fiction; aiming to inspire, encourage, enlighten and entertain—especially those readers active in social justice, humanitarian work, and protection of the Earth. A fervent believer in the value of human creativity, Karina writes without input from artificial intelligence, and works so that her readers can “Escape to the Heights of Their Hearts and the Depths of Their Souls.”
Karina also writes self-instruction books and gives workshops in illustration, music, and creative writing. She lives with her husband William and dog Tahshi, near the heritage town of York, Western Australia (said to be one of Australia’s most haunted) where they’re busy re-wilding degraded farmland.
