Author Karen Wiesner
Creating
realistic, unforgettable characters one story at a time…
Just
this past weekend I received an invitation and welcome from Alien Romances to
join the prestigious line-up of authors gathered at the blog. I've known
Margaret Carter since I asked her to join the popular promotional group I
founded in 2003, Jewels of the Quill (featured in RT Book Reviews magazine with
a revolving group of romance authors that produced 14 award-winning anthologies
together in the 11 years we were together). Currently, Margaret and I are
critique partners. Additionally, I met Rowena Cherry when I interviewed her for
my reference titles published by Writers Digest Books. Considering the short
notice, I thought it would be fitting to post my author biography in order to
introduce myself.
In addition
to the many hats I've worn in the last 25 years as a writing reference
instructor and author of bestselling craft references such as FIRST DRAFT IN 30
DAYS, WRITING THE FICTION SERIES, and BRING YOUR FICTION TO LIFE: Crafting Three-Dimensional Stories with Depth and
Complexity as well as a professional blurbologist (a fancy title for someone
who writes back cover blurbs for authors) and a freelance editor, I'm also the author
of 144 titles (19 series) which have been nominated or won 134 awards. I write
in nearly every genre of fiction along with writing reference, children's
books, and poetry which means I'll have a lot of material to talk about in my future
here on the Alien Romances blog. Below, I've compiled a bullet list of my
credits--with the genres that are the focus of this blog listed first--which I
hope everyone finds interesting.
