Karen Fox Follow

Karen Fox knew at age twelve that she wanted to be a writer. She loved putting down on paper the adventures of those characters who came to life in her head so that she could enjoy them over and over. She was much older before she realized that everybody didn’t have stories going on in their head and wondered if this made her a little bit weird.

Though she’s lived around the country and in Europe with her Air Force husband and three now grown children, she finds it exciting to imagine new worlds, new species, new adventures, and possibilities for the future. This excitement shows itself in her stories.

Upon discovering the local Romance Writers of America (RWA) writing chapter in Colorado Springs, Karen went on to sell her first book in 1996 and has gone on to sell several more over the years.

As one who believes by giving, she receives, Karen spent several years in several positions on the local chapter of Romance Writers of America—Pikes Peak Romance Writers (PPRW), served two terms on the RWA board, and has also served over 20 years working on the Pikes Writers Conference. She was part of the group that formed the local Pikes Peak Writers chapter and has served on that board in many positions as well. She also works on the annual Novelists, Inc. (NINC) Conference.

To date Karen has published eight paranormal romance books with Kensington, Leisure Books, and Berkley, plus a novella with BelleBooks and a short story with DAW. Her second book, Somewhere My Love, was a RITA Finalist in 1998. Prince of Charming, a paranormal romance, was a winner for the 2001 Award of Excellence in the Paranormal Category and Finalist for the 2001 National Readers’ Choice Award. Buttercup Baby, another book in the contemporary fae line, went on to win the Booksellers’ Best Award. She’s also published two sweet contemporary romance novels and four short stories in the ongoing Dogwood sweet, contemporary romance series.
