Karen Tomlinson is a USA Today Bestselling author of romantic fantasy and PNR/UF books.

Karen adores books and will read any genre that catches her eye. She was whisked away by fairies as a child, has been a dragon rider, and grew up learning to fight. (This bit’s true!) She likes nothing better than to lose herself in an epic fantasy tale full of romance, fantasy, and amazing characters.
Karen lives in Derbyshire, England, (think Mr Darcy territory) with her husband, twin girls, and her gorgeous dalmatian. When she’s not busy writing, reading (or eating cake and drinking coffee) Karen likes to keep active. She loves keeping fit, walking in the hills with her family, and dancing around with her earbuds in while singing badly!

Thanks for readi

I read A LOT about hooking readers and agents in when I first started writing my book. ABOVAM went through many changes whilst I 'found' my writing style. In the end I gave up trying to second guess what everyone might want to read and went with what I would want to hook me in. I am an avid reader. I love books, mainly fantasy but any books with a good start and engaging characters.
My answer is I tried a few but as I got to know my characters and world better the beginning came to me and when that image was planted of a warrior running from a fearful enemy, through a dark forest, to save the only person in the world he loves it stuck and wouldn't leave!
Hope that helps...:)(less)
Karen Tomlinson So sorry Jessy! I only just found your question! I haven't set a definite release day for Blessed King as it depends how quickly my editor can finish.…moreSo sorry Jessy! I only just found your question! I haven't set a definite release day for Blessed King as it depends how quickly my editor can finish. That said, I'm aiming for end of June 2019. Hope that helps!

Reign edits on final run!

I'm on the final run of edits for Reign. I'm so pleased. I've rewritten some parts and added to others and tweaked the ending. I'm really happy with the result and am planning a couple of surprises with the paperback.

I'll give it an alternative/bonus ending scene that I think those who like sweeter endings will enjoy.

I'm looking at the end of July for release now not October! Read more of this blog post »

Topics Mentioning This Author

Ernest Hemingway
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
Ernest Hemingway
