| THANKS for stopping by! Don't you just LOVE all things ROMANCE? I'm a professed Book-A-Holic and have ALOT of books. Okay, I'm confessing here that my TBB (To Be Bought) List grows all the time! Its an addiction I'm proud to own up to! LOL! I've been writing since I was old enough to understand the words, as my mother taught me to read and write before I started school. I wrote my first "book" (a 5 page story about a cat who loved to get into trouble) at the age of 5 yrs. Then, at 13 I completed a 300 page teen romance mystery. Imagine my disapointment when it was rejected. But that didn't stop me. |
| BEST 2009 PARANORMAL ROMANCE AUTHOR! |
KARI'S BIO
After attending College and studying Child Psychology for my Major, I decided what I
REALLY wanted to do was WRITE. I blame it on my too-active imagination. With a
confusing array of characters and ideas always running through my mind, I had no choice
but to sit down and try to make sense out of each one.
My first 'official' book wrote with publication in mind, was TEMPTATION UNLEASHED. I
worked on and off with it for several years. With a dear friend (who was also writing her
own book) I made the committment to write each week. Together, we managed to complete
our books and learn as we went along. I submitted and .... WOW...was immediately
accepted! I was on Cloud Nine!
Unfortunately, the publishing company went bankrupt later that year due to
mismanagement and my "baby" was held in bankruptcy court as an "asset" for almost a
year. Then, when my Rights were finally returned, I submitted to Samhain Publishing and
it was accepted there. It received a new Cover (a 'wow' done by well-known Cover Artist
Natalie Winters) and as they say: "The rest is history!" It continues to be a BEST Seller
and I'm still so proud of my first baby! Later, I published 2 Shorts, Epilogues, for the
Secondary Characters. "The Christmas Chapter" is Gavin and Lena's Love Story, and
"Soul's Choice" is Riana's Love Story. Contact me for a FREE copy.
My following books, with Black Lyon Publishing have won several Awards: "Hunted
Mate" won 2008 BEST Erotica. "Spell-Kissed" won 2010 BEST All Around Book. "Under A
Shifter's Moon" won 2009 BEST Shifter Book.
My "unique" (as it was nicknamed by readers) paranormal "Her Heart His Soul" ,
published with Bookstrand-Siren Publishing won 2009 BEST aLL Around Book.
I published 2 Novella lengths (under 30,000 words) with Eternal Press : "Prey for the
Wolf" and "Seducing the Hero" . "Prey" remained on the BEST Sellers list at Fictionwise
for over 21 days, and "Seducing" won a national RWA Contest.
"Hold Onto the Night" was published with All Romance Ebooks for the AMA (American
Heart Association). All the proceeds/royalties go to AMA. It's my only Contemporary
without even a touch of Paranormal.
"Purr-Fect Timing" was also published with All Romance Ebooks, as a FREEBIE in the
Anthology "Just One Bite".
If you're like me, you love discovering new authors. So, if you would like page samples of
my books, please CONTACT me.
