I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on ’80s music and way too many readings of “Forever” by Judy Blume. I spent my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Somewhere in there, I married my real life Jake Ryan, had two amazing kids, and started getting up before dawn to write romance. With sparks.
I’m so excited to reveal the cover for TOO FAST, TOO FAKE! I am OBSESSED with this cover. Seriously. When I got the first color draft from my editor, I think I stared at it for an hour. I just love the warm, welcoming vibes. It’s getting my psyched for PSL season (even though I’m really way more of a peppermint mocha girl).
The color palette fits this story perfectly because Olivia and Logan are two of the warmest characters I think I have ever written. On the surface, they’re as opposite as could be. She’s a librarian who loves her quiet life and he’s an adrenaline junkie who’d much rather jump out of a plane than kick back and relax. And yet…they connect on a level that feels absolutely elemental. Logan falls first…and harder…but once Olivia gets there, it all crystalizes so beautifully. I can’t wait for you to read it.
TOO FAST, TOO FAKE arrives May 25, 2027, but you can preorder it now. And don’t worry about missing out on any preorder goodies by placing your order now. Just hold on to your order confirmation and I’ll put a shout out in the newsletter for everyone to claim whatever it is that I give away (I haven’t quite figured it out yet)!
