Karen Clarke is a multi-published author, best known for her psychological thrillers that explore the darker side of life and relationships. Originally from Yorkshire, Karen has spent many years in Buckinghamshire, UK, with her husband and three grown-up children. Clarke has a varied work history, having been a secretary/bookkeeper, a wedding photographer, a pub manager, and a librarian, all of which have provided rich material for her stories.
In addition to her psychological thrillers, Clarke has written twelve romantic comedies and co-writes thrillers with fellow author Amanda Brittany. Her short stories have also been published in women's magazines in the UK and abroad. Clarke's ability to write in different genres showcases her versatility and talent as a writer.
When Clarke is not writing, she enjoys reading, photography, walking, watching Netflix, baking, and eating cakes. The walking and photography are not only hobbies but also help Clarke in plot-wrangling and coming up with new ideas. Clarke's love for baking and eating cakes is a recurring theme in her social media posts, and she often shares pictures of her baking creations with her followers. Clarke's writing is an extension of her personality, and her readers can see glimpses of her interests and hobbies in her work.
