Dr.
Karen Moriarty has worked as a
teacher, counselor, administrator, and
consultant in public schools and as a licensed
clinical psychologist in private practice. She
earned advanced degrees, including her
doctorate, from Northern Illinois University.
Defending
a King~His Life & Legacy
is offered as an intimate and disclosing
portrayal of Michael Jackson, with new
information and unique insights regarding
this "king of a man." His goodness
has been unknown and/or ignored; this
volume needs to be affixed to the legacy
of his greatness. "Bizarre
behavior is normal in bizarre
circumstances." Dr. Moriarty
leads her reader through the maze of
stunningly bizarre circumstances in which
Michael lived and struggled, through his
private joys and sufferings as a real
human being... a transcendent man.
Baby Richard: A Four-Year-Old Comes Home,
published in 2003, was her first book, written
because it was "an epic story that had to be
told."
Karen is married to Dr. Robert V. Moriarty,
also a licensed clinical psychologist and
former president of a community college and of
a private graduate school.
They reside with their feline companions,
Stephanie Ann and Tom Riley, in Ponte Vedra
Beach, Florida.
