🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Karen Ranney
She started when she was only five years old. “The Maple Leaf”, her first published work, was read over the school intercom when she was a first grader. Karen used to carry this big blue book around, holding it in her arms a lot like someone would a doll. She still remembers just how heavy it was and recalls the marks that it would make on her arms. She remembers sitting out on the front steps in Sherman, Texas with the book right next to her. At times, she would sit with it in her lap and open it and slide her fingers over the top of all the words. She would try to match the ones she knew to the ones in the magical book. She wanted to be a violinist (when she was seven, her parents had a custom made violin built for her) when she was younger. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Karen Ranney has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
