Name: Karen
Born in the US, Karen Dawn grew up and studied in Australia. She pursued a Science degree colloquially tagged "rats and stats," so she knows firsthand that views and habits can shift. She hopes her furry subjects will shine forgiving blessings upon this book.

She worked as a news researcher and writer for Australia's national nightly news magazine show "The 7:30 Report," on ABC, then moved to New York where she played the downtown music scene -- and made fruit salad at the Saint Francis of Xavier soup kitchen every Sunday. After reading "Animal Liberation" she was moved to devote her efforts to those most abused by society and least able to help themselves -- the animals.

Karen founded the animal advocacy media watch DawnWatch.com. Check it out to see her daily work and published op-eds. As a spokesperson for the animal rights movement she has appeared on MTV and hosted talk shows on major radio stations. Her opinion pieces have been published in leading newspapers including the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post. Thanking the Monkey is her first book.

For all you fellow mortals, run, don't walk, and get a copy of Karen Dawn's new book, Thanking the Monkey. This is a great book that deserves to be read by everyone. It's written in plain, simple, easy language that everyone can follow and it basically tells you, with humor and intelligence, how we have been treating the animals as well as what we need to do to continue co-habitation with our fellow beings. Yes, it's a new way of thinking for many but, all the same, is on target with saving ourselves as well as our fellow beings.

Mark Gailmor,

P.S. Karen, thanks for the lovely, personalized copy of your book. It now has a personal space on my coffee table where everyone can see it.
