Karen Kinna

Karen Kinna (1967-) was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Now living on a secluded lake near Austin, Texas with three wiener dogs and one crazy corgi, Karen writes full-time in a constant flurry of dog hair and stray kibble.

​

She holds a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from Simon Fraser University, with minors in Journalism and Shakespeare.

 

A proud member of RWA (Romance Writers of America), Karen is a past vice-president of SARA (San Antonio Romance Authors) where she is still very involved with conferences and contests.

​

For 14 years, Karen was a featured entertainment columnist twice a week for a large newspaper chain based in southern British Columbia.  (MetroValley News.)

​

She cut her teeth in the writing world by interviewing actors, authors, and musicians - including Diana Gabaldon, Robin Williams, and Alan Jackson.

​

Her ON STAGE theatre columns were syndicated and circulated to an audience of over 100,000 readers.

​

Karen has written plays for the stage, children's books, and sci-fi and parenting articles for the past two decades.

Her first love is Contemporary Romance -- the steamier the better!
