About Me
About Karen
Hi, I’m Karen—romance author, English teacher, and a lifelong believer in love stories that don’t come easy… but are always worth it.
​
I’ve always been drawn to romance, especially the kind with a twist—shifters, vampires, hidden worlds layered just beneath our own. The idea that something magical could exist just out of sight has always felt a little too believable to ignore.
​
For years, Seraphine’s story lived quietly in the back of my mind. I started writing it more than once, never quite knowing where it would lead or how it would end. It wasn’t until I discovered the world of indie authors—reading advance copies, seeing stories brought to life outside traditional paths—that something clicked.
​
If they could do it… why couldn’t I?
​
This time, Seraphine was ready.
And so was I.
Why I Write
My stories aren’t just about romance—they’re about resilience.
​
I write characters who have been through things that changed them. Who have been told they’re broken, or too much, or not enough… and who find their strength anyway.
​
Because I believe most people carry something heavier than they let on.
​
And sometimes, seeing that reflected in a story—watching someone fight through it, heal, and still find love—can matter more than we expect.
​
If readers walk away from my books feeling a little stronger, a little more seen, or a little more willing to choose themselves… then I’ve done what I set out to do.
The Stories I Tell
I write paranormal romance with emotional depth, where:
​
-
Heroines are strong, even when they don’t feel it
-
Heroes are powerful, but know when to step back
-
Love doesn’t fix everything—but it makes healing possible
-
And happily ever after is something earned, not given
​
You’ll find dark elements in my stories—trauma, loss, difficult pasts—but they are never the whole story.
There is always light.
Always strength.
Always a way forward.
A Little More About Me
By day, I’m an English teacher, helping students find confidence in their words (and occasionally discovering that some of them have secretly read my books).
​
By night—and early mornings when inspiration hits—I write whenever I can, balancing creativity with real life, teaching, travel, and living with fibromyalgia. Some days that means hours of writing. Other days, it means none at all.
​
When the words are there, I take full advantage.
​
I’m usually writing with a view—preferably near water—with something sweet and caffeinated nearby (mocha will always win over black coffee).
​
I’m based in the UK, though I like to think of myself as a bit of a worldwide citizen, and I’m almost never without a book in hand.
​
And if I’m not writing or reading, you’ll probably find me being supervised by my black cat, Luna.
Final Note
More than anything, I want this space—and my stories—to feel like somewhere you belong.
​
Not just as a reader.
But as someone who gets it.
​
So whether you’re here for the dragons, the romance, or the journey in between—
​
I’m really glad you’re here. 🔥
