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.
Fire the glitter cannons! Secrets of a (Somewhat) Sunny Girl is out in the world! I do have some fun new tidbits to share about the book. NPR featured it in “3 Romances to Keep You on the Path to Happily Ever After”, saying, “This is not to be missed.” Also, Tantor Media has acquired the audiobook rights, with a release date of December 12. If you didn’t have a chance to preorder and would like to nab the book, you can find links to all retailers on the Sunny Girl page.
As for what’s next, well, believe it or not, Christmas is coming, as is A Christmas Temptation, which will be out November 1 in eBook and November 6 for mass market paperback. This is Book One in the Eden Empire series, about the Eden sisters, who are heiresses trying to make a go of it running their grandmother’s Manhattan department store. This series is so fun and shows the best of female relationships. Plus, who doesn’t love a good Christmas romance? I hope you’ll check it out!
