Author Information

Karen Riley

George Michael Metivier is a hopeless romantic with many years as a professional photographer. Owning his own business gave him an opportunity to use his art training by creating photoart works involving two hundred women. Accepted in two museums of art and several galleries, publications and other media, George has managed, at least, to illustrate, with humor, outrage and deep confusion the drama and pathos of what may be a quite ordinary love life. But is it? Perhaps it is these barricades and quicksands which make us more the human. Karen L. Riley tempers her hopeless romanticism with a woman's wisdom. Her life has been enriched by her dedication to art and the assimilation of creative attitudes among children. An excellent writer, she started as a journalist with a local newspaper in Long Beach and rapidly advanced to more sophisticated positions where her writing skills were necessarily used properly. She retains a wry sense of humor and a very human appreciation of the vagaries of love.

Editorial Reviews

"The best book on Pinelands folklife since Beck's memorable Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey series. A must-read for anybody interested in Piney lore."
-- Ben Ruset, NJPineBarrens.com

"An easy read ... a fun read. And what an education while you are experiencing Pinelands lore! You will learn a lot about people, and cranberries, too. When I claim to have 'saved' the Pinelands, I mean I tried to save it for people and places you will experience in Karen Riley's book. She clearly knows what she is talking about and covers it delightfully."
--Brendan T. Byrne

"Voices in the Pines presents a captivating, diversified, and at times unexpected view of several residents of New Jersey's Pinelands. ... each one of these dynamic characters, whether they've resided here for nine generations or merely a few years, share in different ways a special love, understanding, and respect for this wonderful place we are all proud to call home."
--Cathy Antener, PineyPower.com
