about this author
I'm a mom. I have a dog named Wyatt. I started writing way back in high school, but it took me a lifetime to write what you'll read about next: In a Goodreads poll, 82% of early readers voted Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate equal to or better than Twilight in terms of likeability. 68% voted it equal to or better than Harry Potter. I was surprised, because it doesn't have the same dark quality those books have. Secret Speakers is a story of the ultimate sacrifice, unconditional love, and the sublime transformation of a soul in a dark, dark world. Thanks to all my heroic readers who voted during the Read & Rate It event. And thanks to all 700 who originally signed up. Oh, and it's available in late October on Amazon. Wink,...more

Hi Karey!
Thanks for the connection! The writing is coming along, thanks for asking. I am enjoying your Oprah's book club, here on Goodreads!
Regards,
Vanessa
Do you know when the book may get here!? I'm so excited! I even thought about maybe taking a picture of the book and uploading it. Then I ruled that out because I mean everyone already knows how awesome the cover looks, but still ...Maybe I will. ^_^
I can't wait.
Hope your Monday has been goin' good.
Hi Karey, stopped by to see what's new on your page. Have a great week.

Hey Karey,
How is everything going?? I hope all is well and that you're feeling better! :-)
I hope you'll consider reading Lancelot's Lady, my debut romance novel on Textnovel. I've entered it in the Dorchester contest and I can really use the support. I need all the votes I can get.
Lancelot's Lady is a manuscript that is unfinished (I'm adding chapters daily right now) and I'm really excited about where it's going and the response I've gotten so far. Since I usually write suspense novels, this romance thing is a bit of a challenge. lol
Please vote "thumbs up" if you enjoy it.

I see I'm not the only one who has had the pleasure of being in one of Mark Strand's classes. At the end of the semester he said, "I don't know why you've all been working so hard all semester writing poems. All you had to do is write one and I would have given you an A." We all about leaped over our desks to strangle him.
Hi Karey:SECRET SPEAKERS sounds wonderful. What a delightful and engaging premise!
Best wishes,

Hi Karey,
On your profile, you wrote: "Before graduating with a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Utah in 1987, Kingworth was taught by Mark Strand, former Poet Laureate of the United States. He said one of her poems sounded like a Hallmark Card, (which she took as a compliment . . . ?)"

I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed reading your book :)
I love this particular genre of books and it was exceptional. I can't wait to read the next one and see what you decide to title it after taking the poll.
When will you be having the group discussion about the book? Do I qualify for a free signed copy?
Happy New Year BTW :)
Thanks!
Hilda

awesome! ;D i do love Maximum Ride! the first two books in the series are sooooo amazing! somewhere in the third book it started going downhill for me. but the first two are definitely worth reading. the plot is really good and i luv all the characters!

My and my Friend
We’ve been friends for a while
I remember our denials
I first thought that you
Were sort of out of the blue
You wanted to be friends
I said why not
Soon we became inseparable
And we got into a lot of trouble
But I love you
Because you are my friend
My friend
Till the very, very end
I’ll always remember you
It’s because of you, I am who I am
I’ll never want to leave your side
We’re buds till, the sun doesn’t rise
And I love you
Because, you are my friend
Never will I
Willingly let you go
A distance won’t stop me
From trying to get back to you
You’re my friend
I’ll always love you
Till the very, very end
I’ll always remember your smile
Our memories will never fade
I’ll always be your friend
Please, never forget me
I’ll never forget you
My friend
(what do you think?)
