ⓘ About K.E. O'Connor
Her writing has excitement, mystery, adventure, and romance. Karen enjoys making up new characters and worlds, and sharing stories for other people to enjoy. This is what she does as she hides in her castle with a neverending supply of books, cakes, tea, and her many familiars (animals feature prominently in much of her work). Karen is able to imagine dragons, taste cookies even when they are not there, and hear the crack of a witch’s broom at a hundred paces. Karen lives in the United Kingdom among the fairy creatures and mystical stones of Somerset. She graduated from the Universities of Reading and Southhampton, where she received degrees in Cognitive Evolution and Archaeology (both are highly entertaining to take part in, however with the career options of a ground witch’s toe bone).
