Career
A reader of vampire/horror novels, Karen first started writing Blood Secrets in January 1988. She conceived of writing the novel while living across the street from a cemetery, but reportedly never intended to create an ongoing series. She subsequently embarked on the creation of a series in response to the success of her first book. That series now includes seven titles. Los Angeles Times contributor Robert Masello described her as the Los Angeles area's "own Anne Rice."
