About the author
Karen Fox
23 books9 followersKaren Fox knew at age twelve that she wanted to be a writer. She loved putting down on paper the adventures of those characters who came to life in her head so that she could enjoy them over and over. She was much older before she realized that everybody didn’t have stories going on in their head and wondered if this made her a little bit weird.
Though she’s lived around the country and in Europe with her Air Force husband and three now grown children, she finds it exciting to imagine new worlds, new species, new adventures, and possibilities for the future. This excitement shows itself in her stories.
Upon discovering the local RWA writing chapter in Colorado Springs, Karen went on to sell her first book in 1996 and has gone on to sell several more over the years.
As one who believes by giving, she receives, Karen spent several years in several positions on the local chapter of Romance Writers of America—Pikes Peak Romance Writers, served two terms on the RWA board, and has also served over 20 years with the Pikes Writers Conference. She also works on the annual NINC Conference.
To date Karen has published eight paranormal romance books with Kensington, Leisure Books, and Berkley, plus a novella with BelleBooks and a short story with DAW. Her second book, Somewhere My Love, was a RITA Finalist in 1998. Prince of Charming, a paranormal romance, was a winner for the 2001 Award of Excellence in the Paranormal Category and Finalist for the 2001 National Readers’ Choice Award. Buttercup Baby, another book in the contemporary fae line, went on to win the Booksellers’ Best Award. She’s also published two sweet contemporary romance novels and three short stories in the ongoing Dogwood Series.

Beckett MacLeod’s world rejects technology, but he has no choice except to hop on a spaceship when his daughter runs away from home to seek the legendary Sword of MacLeod. His planet is afflicted by drought, and their people will die unless a miracle happens. Does this involve the lovely tracker known as Raven that Beckett hires to locate his daughter? She uses miraculous tools to find water and to heal the injured. But she can’t find a means to get past Beckett’s stubborn and backward cultural barriers. What he doesn’t count on is finding passion with this modern, space-faring pilot. Will he be able to give her up when the time comes? This classical futuristic romance has a star-crossed couple, a worthy villain, and two cultures that resonate even today with their opposing value systems.

Who wouldn't like a little space - a little chaos - a little bit of men in kilts - some castles - lasers and prophecies? I sure the heck did!
