ⓘ About Karen Baugh Menuhin
Author Karen Baugh Menuhin has been an itinerant traveler her entire life. She grew up in the military, usually on RAF Bases but preferring to be in the countryside when possible. At the age of sixty, she decided to write. She doesn’t know why, however, the stories just came pouring right out of her, along with her characters. Stalwart butlers, machinating Countesses, eccentric Uncles, Fogg the dog, idiosyncratic servants, and the hapless Major Heathcliff Lennox. An entire world built itself on the page, she just happened to follow along. She lives and writes in the Cotswolds with Krov, her dear husband, who helps and inspires her in all of her efforts.
