Kari is a writer and journalist. She was happily going about her business right up until 2021 when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Cirrhosis of the Liver. In 2022, she was placed on the liver transplant list where she waits for her new liver (and sidekick).
A dyed-in-the-wool Chicago girl, Kari currently lives in Atlanta, GA with her two cats: Beaker (a grumpy, 18-year-old Norwegian Forest cat who moved here with her from London, UK) and Bowie (a 5-year-old ginger goofball she rescued at 3 days old, born outside her apartment in Atlanta).
Merle is Kari's liver. Yes -- naming a body part is a little odd -- but we imagine him to be a worn-out, road-weary, hard-living troubadour, much like his namesake, Merle Haggard. It beats thinking of him looking like a lump of moldy old Swiss cheese.
