After playing hooky one day in the 7th grade to read Gone With the Wind, Karen White knew she wanted to become either Scarlett O'Hara - or a writer. Being practical though, she spent the next dozen years pursuing a BS in management, graduating from Tulane University and working in business. Later, after leaving the corporate world to marry and stay home with her children, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a writer and wrote her first book. In the Shadow of the Moon was published in August, 2000 - and since then, Karen has published five more books.

Her sixth, Pieces of the Heart, debuted in April 2006 - and this, like her others, is set in the southern states where her family has roots and which she knows so well.

Her warm characters, heart-felt plots and endearing author's voice have combined to give her readers such a rewarding experience that each of her works has won multiple awards. At last count, for her first four novels, she has either finaled or won 21 awards. These come from all sectors of the publishing industry, including readers, booksellers, critics and other authors.

Karen writes what she calls "grit lit" - emotional southern family dramas. The South, with its lush landscape of collective history and family tales, is ripe for storytelling and very hard to resist for this writer. For this busy American wife and mother of two children, writing is "something for which I have to work very hard to carve out time in my everyday life. If I didn't love to write so much, I would have given up long ago because squeezing time to write in between laundry, car-pooling, and being mom-of-all- trades is one of the most challenging things I've ever had to do. But I simply couldn't imagine my life any other way!"
