Award-winning author Karen Rose Smith was born in Pennsylvania. Although she was an only child, she remembers the bonds of an extended family. Family is a strong theme in her books and she suspects her childhood memories are the reason.

In college, Karen began writing poetry and also met her husband to be. They both began married life as teachers, but when their son was born, Karen decided to try her hand at a home-decorating business.

She returned to teaching for a while but changes in her life led her to writing relationship novels. Now she writes romances as well as mysteries full time. Her first book was published in 1992; her 110th novel will be published in 2024. A winner of New Jersey's Golden Leaf Award in Short Contemporary Romance

MURDER WITH ORANGE PEKOE TEA release @karenrosesmith

 

My 106th published novel will be released on Tuesday, August 24, 2021!!! It hardly seems possible that my first novel was published in 1992. I wrote romance for 20 years and then turned to writing cozy mysteries. This is my second mystery series. MURDER WITH ORANGE PEKOE TEA is the seventh book in my Daisy's Tea Garden series. The series is set in the fictional town of Willow Creek in Lancast
