Born and raised in Mississippi, Karen learned from an early age that the South is a very special place, full of more than its fair share of fascinating and unique people. A glimpse into their lives is what she hopes to share with readers.
Taking Lives is her first novel. Given that she believes the old saying that if you scratch a born and bred Southerner deep enough, you'll find the makings of a darn good book, she intends to keep scratching.
Karen's proud to be a Southern woman and is thankful for all the life experiences that it has brought and continues to bring her.
