Goodies / Mail List | Contest | Bookseller Comments | Workshops

First, thanks for visiting my site! I know you see a lot of books by a lot of authors, so I appreciate you taking your time here. I've always loved books, ever since I was a child. A reward for finishing my chores without complaint was a trip to the library, which then seemed like a huge, never-ending source of fantasy and escape. For me, bookstores and libraries still seem that way.

I'm glad there are booksellers and librarians who love books as much as I do!

Please take a few minutes to check out the area of my site dedicated to you, the booksellers and librarians. I've got free goodies for your store or library - bookmarks, brochures, and there is a contest especially for you. If I'm in your area, I would love to come and meet you and your readers. Check out my travel schedule under About Karen/Appearances and feel free to contact me!

If you have a writers' group, check out the workshops I teach. If you'd like me to come speak to your group, contact me. Right now there are only a few topics ready for "prime time", but others will follow, so keep in touch.

There are a lot of dreams inside the covers of a book. Thank you so much for helping those dreams become part of a reader's heart.

 

Best wishes,

 

Workshops (for booksellers and librarians)

 

If your store or library has a writers' group and I'm in the area, I'd love to come meet you and your readers. This could be in the form of a book signing or a workshop, whichever works best for you. Check out the list of workshops I teach. Right now there are just a few, but there will be more as time goes. If I'm not in your area and you'd like me to come anyway, give me an email-shout and we'll talk J .

Workshop topics:

• Unlocking the Mysteries of Publishing or.. How it all works from the authors' point of view
• Creating Chilling Villains

Come back later as I'll be adding topics and hard-copy downloads of my materials!

 

Thanks again,

 

Comments from booksellers:

 

My name is Amy Langhals and I work at a Waldenbooks.  We recently received an Advance Reader's Copy of "You Can't Hide."  I wanted to let you know I just finished it and it was wonderful.  This is the first book of yours that I have read but I'm definitely going to get "I'm Watching You."  For a book that is almost 500 pages it was an incredibly fast read that always kept me wanting more.  I will definitely recommend it to many customers when it comes out in April.  Best of luck with publicity and sales!

I'm a bookseller in Columbia, SC and received your latest book, You Can't Hide as an Advanced Reader copy on Thursday. I wanted to write and tell you how excited I am about your new book! I couldn't put it down and finished it last night! It kept me guessing the whole way and I cannot wait for it to be published so that I can share it with our customers! This was the first book that I have read of yours and I am going to go back and read the rest now! Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
