”This book is a must for all pickleball players!! The book gives a great overview of the game, it's positive aspects, the history and personal stories. I feel most players can relate to the "social" aspect of pickleball.

Hi, I’m Karen Strine

I’m a writer who has always expressed myself best with words and I’ve published freelance articles and essays in the past.

I’m also a pickleball player since 2017, after playing tennis for twenty years, a road cyclist ( “there’s nothing like a bike”), formerly worked in the healthcare field and then turned event planner/fundraiser for over a decade, to name a few things about me. I also love to do research when I write and to find things that I think will interest readers. I have a family who I love and to whom I’m devoted and a beautiful dog, Charlotte, a Boykin Spaniel. We are an Alliance of Therapy Dog team.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

Here are some pictures from my bicycle rides at the beach. Exercise clears the mind and touches the soul.

Charlotte, our LBD, little brown dog or a Boykin Spaniel, or even a “girlkin” as the females are sometimes called. She provides therapy for many, inside and outside of medical facilities.

“Remember that when you leave this earth,
you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you have been given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.”
