Seth Karnes

Seth Karnes is a lifelong dog lover, storyteller, and believer in the quiet miracles of the heart. Drawing from his own experiences of loss and the unspoken bond between children and their pets, he wrote "Here Comes Bella" to help young readers navigate the ache of grief and the gentle promise of healing. His debut picture book reflects his deep belief that love, once given, always makes room for love again. When he’s not weaving tales of hope and new beginnings, Seth can be found wandering familiar paths, listening for the echo of paws that once ran beside him, and watching for the next small wonder just beyond the fence.
