Karen Rees exchanged her life as an Oklahoma farmer's daughter for SE Asian "big city" life when she, with her husband, Benjamin, began mission work in Hong Kong. Over the years they have worked with Chinese, household servants imported from the Philippines and Tamil asylum seekers from Sri Lanka.

As a result she has eaten chicken's feet, baby octopus cooked in its own ink, barbecued pig's ear and several other delicacies that she chose not to ask about.

Karen is a mother of two and grandmother of three, an avid reader, quilter, writer, lover of history and a continual learner.

Her debut novel, The Ruby Ring, set against the backdrop of William Tyndale's battle for an English Bible, won an Indie Excellence Finalist Award.
