Karen King is a British author who began her career writing children’s books in the late 1980s. Her early work includes picture books like Christmas Fun (1989) and Santa’s Journey (1991), along with chapter books and middle grade fiction. She has published over thirty children’s titles covering everything from early readers to the Witch Angel fantasy series for older children.
In recent years, King has shifted toward adult fiction, writing contemporary women’s fiction and psychological thrillers. Novels like The Cornish Hotel by the Sea (2017), The Stranger in My Bed (2020), and The Perfect Stepmother (2021) show her range from lighthearted romance to darker suspense. She also wrote Get Writing Children’s Fiction (2013), a guide for aspiring children’s authors, and The Amy Carter Mysteries for younger readers.
Note: Karen King is sometimes confused with Karen Kingsbury, a different author who writes Christian fiction. They are two separate writers with distinct audiences and styles.
