Karen E. Hoover

Author of The Wolfchild Saga, The Misadventures of a Teenage Wizard series, Newtimber series, Love Notes series, and Dakota Bound series.

My earliest memories are of my daddy reading to me as a young child, the rumble of his chest beneath my ear as he recited the poem Jabberwocky and read the rhymes of Dr. Seuss. Words have been important to me, it seems forever, and it seems perfectly normal that I would grow up to write my own stories. I've written a couple of romance series, but my favorite thing to write about is Fantasy! Dragons and wizards and shapeshifting animals--they all have a place in my books. Come. Take a look around and see what you can see. Welcome to my world!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Storyteller at Heart

Karen E. Hoover has been writing for most of her life, either creating small, hand-stapled booklets, team-writing with her brother as a teenager, or birthing full novels as an adult. She has been blessed to learn the craft of writing at the feet of some of the masters, including Brandon Sanderson and Tracy Hickman, but gained must of her understanding of writing while attending the LDStorymakers Writers Conference between 2006 and 2009. She placed four times in the three years she entered their First Chapter Contest, ending 2009 with a grand prize win and an offer for publication.

Teaching is one of her greatest joys, and because of it she has presented at many local conferences, including L.T.U.E., CONduit, The LDStorymakers Writing Conference, The Teen Writer’s Conference, and Write Here in Ephraim. She has also spoken in classrooms at several schools throughout the state, and co-sponsored an after school writing club for teens in her home town.

Karen is the author of twelve books, with many more to come. Four in The Wolfchild Saga (The Sapphire Flute, The Armor of Light, The Emerald Wolf, and The Amethyst Eye), one book in The Misadventures of a Teenage Wizard series (Two Souls Are Better Than One,) and  Newtimber: Fractured. She has also published a book of poems, three books under her pen name, Raine Gillespie, and two under her pen name Liza Westbrook. She lives in Tooele, Utah with her husband, her dog, three and a half cats, and multiple strays that live in her garage.

The Amethyst Eye

Now Available in Paperback and Hardback!

Kindle available on 7/27!

It's been eight years since the last installment of The Wolfchild Saga--six years of depression, anxiety, heartache, and change, but guess what? I'm back! 

Initially, I had planned on The Wolfchild Saga to be a five book series, but as I reached the half-way point of book five and was already 80,000 words in, I realized I needed to split it. And if I split book five, then I also needed to split book four. So, now a five book series has become seven! Book five and six are mostly done, so one book to go, and I will release them just as fast as my editor can go. 

Thanks for the patient waiting, my friends. It's worth the wait. I promise.

Love and Hugs,

Karen
