Kara Isaac is a contemporary romance author based in Wellington, New Zealand. She is best known for her RITA Award-winning novel "Then There Was You," which earned recognition from the Romance Writers of America. Her other works include "Close to You," a RITA Award double finalist, and "Can't Help Falling," which received an RT Review Top Pick designation. With four published novels to her name, Isaac has established herself as a notable voice in the genre.
Isaac balances her writing career with raising three children, often describing her creative process as drafting "horribly bad first drafts." Her lighthearted approach contrasts with the emotional depth of her stories, which explore themes of love, faith, and personal growth. A self-proclaimed fan of Double Stuf Oreos, she humorously laments their scarcity in New Zealand. While her novels have garnered critical acclaim, Isaac remains grounded in her daily life as a mother and writer.
