How did you discover Kim Karr?

It was pretty random. I was going through some old ebooks that I hadn’t had a chance to read and saw the cover of Connected the first book of the Connected series. Started reading it and was hooked after the first page – so much so that I finished the book and went back and reread it before moving on to the rest of the series (4 full novels and 2 novella’s) and I have not reread a book immediately after since.

What is it about this author and their books that have your coming back for more?

Kim Karr has a way of drawing you into her characters that makes you both laugh out loud as well as cry when you feel their heartache. I also found that I believed the circumstances that brought River and Dahlia (main characters of Connected and Torn book 2) together and because you buy into it – it helps draw you into Kim Karr’s other books. You trust her writing. That is what happened to me. When I read The 27 Club, my first book of her’s outside the Torn series I loved it just as much as I did the first books I read.

What’s your favorite book of Kim Karr’s?  Why?

Its Connected. I feel in love with River and Dahlia and their story. From their chance meeting to the circumstances that bring them together years later (its funny) I just couldn’t get enough of their story and was so happy when I found the second book and then come to find out there was entire series, The great thing is that she made the secondary characters so fun and interesting that I couldn’t wait to go back to find out what happens to their friends and family. If the first book didn’t work then the rest don’t matter.

Current and Upcoming Release

I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I’ve always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest passions—writing.

I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my oldest child is in college and my twins are juniors so they no longer go with me on these outings. And although I don’t need to go to the actual store anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle, I still do. There’s nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out of going to the bookstore–it’s time I love and cherish.

I like to believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart. <3
