Karen M Cox is an award-winning author of novels accented with romance and history, including 1932, Find Wonder in All Things, Undeceived, and I Could Write a Book. Her ebook novella, The Journey Home, is a companion piece to 1932.  She also contributed a short story, “Northanger Revisited 2015”, to the anthology, Sun-Kissed: Effusions of Summer, and a story titled, “I, Darcy” to The Darcy Monologues. Her short story, “An Honest Man”, will appear in Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen’s Rakes and Gentleman Rogues this November.

Karen was born in Everett WA, which was the result of coming into the world as the daughter of a United States Air Force Officer. She had a nomadic childhood, with stints in North Dakota, Tennessee and New York State before finally settling in her family’s home state of Kentucky at the age of eleven. She lives in a quiet little town with her husband, where she works as a pediatric speech pathologist, encourages her children, and spoils her granddaughter.

Channeling Jane Austen’s Emma, Karen has let a plethora of interests lead her to begin many hobbies and projects she doesn’t quite finish, but she aspires to be a great reader and an excellent walker—like Elizabeth Bennet.
