Kara Keen was that little kid hiding under the covers, reading with a flashlight. Later, when other girls were practicing cheerleading or hanging out with boys, she was still laying around reading. She knew nothing about flirting or sports, but she could whip up a stellar English composition or an article for the school newspaper in nothing flat, so that’s when the passionate reader became the passionate writer! While getting a journalism degree, she also got her prince and married him. Writing for a news bureau, a government agency, a New York publisher and other companies while raising two kids, Kara dreamed of writing a book. In 2004, she wrote two nonfiction books (under a different name) about sex, intimacy, and women’s health and spoke at conferences across the country. When she read Sylvia Day’s Bared to You, she started devouring romance novels and began fantasizing about her own characters and writing down their sexy thoughts and encounters. After writing Captain’s Orders and outlining four other books, she’s looking forward to sharing her passion for happily-ever-afters with readers around the world!
