As Seen In

Book Three Coming February 24, 2026!
EMBRACING TRUST
For Sheryl Simmons, Alisha Carson, and Gemma Morrison, it all boils down to one thing: TRUST.
In the business world-and in their personal lives-it’s hard to know who to trust. Their bosses, friends, colleagues, advisors, and even Sheryl’s husband, all purport to be trustworthy. But are they?
As each woman faces what seem like impossible choices, they’ll all have to answer that question. Only by embracing trust will they find the answer.

Engaging Novels and Anthologies about leadership and life
Books by Karen
The Ascending Ladders Series
An IT executive. A cost-cutting board of directors. Leaders and teams in turmoil. That’s the landscape of Discovering Power, Book 1 of The Ascending Ladders Series. And Sheryl Simmons (the IT leader) is at the heart of it. The big question is “What can she do about it?”
And her conflict grows in Book 2, Pursuing Truth as she faces nefarious activities in the workplace but has no idea who is telling the truth. Nor does she know if her husband is telling the truth about his relationship with a colleague.
Contributions to Anthologies
As a co-author of three different anthologies, Karen contributed thoughtful and open-hearted chapters about leadership, spirituality, and her own personal journey.

risk taking specialist and founder
Hi! I’m Karen Ann Bulluck

I am an author, storyteller, speaker, and strategic risk-taker. I founded DARING TO TRANSCEND to inspire women leaders to rise above the ordinary and take the risk to shine.
My passion is writing fiction. A skill I’ve had to learn and hone as my second career. It’s been both frightening and liberating to start over. I also love writing my newsletter, although not as much when I’m in the throes of writing a novel. (Which I am now.)
I have over thirty years of risk-taking experience in both my personal and professional life. Check out more of my story by clicking below.
