After playing hooky from school one day in the seventh grade
to read Gone
With the Wind, Karen knew she wanted to be a writer-or
become Scarlett
O'Hara. Soon after, Karen cut her teeth on her first
gothic, Lord of the Far
Island by Victoria Holt. That soon led to quickly devouring
every gothic she
could find including her all-time favorite, Rebecca, by
Daphne duMaurier.
Living in London at the time, she begged her parents for
trips to Cornwall
where, according to her reading, a spooky old house perched
on every cliff
top.
These experiences fueled her desire to write but, in spite
of her
aspirations, Karen pursued a degree in business and
graduated with a BS in
Management from Tulane University.
Leaving the business world to stay home with her children,
Karen wrote her
first book, In the Shadow of the Moon which was a two time
RITA finalist in
2001. Falling Home is her third novel.
When not writing, Karen spends her time reading, singing,
playing the piano,
carpooling children and avoiding cooking. She lives outside
Atlanta with her
husband, daughter and son. Interview
