About the author
Karen Campbell
5 books2 followersLibrarian note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
I am the author of "The Knowing", "Violet's Story" and a collection of short stories called "Little Whispers", all available as e-books or paperbacks. On 2nd November 2014, I won the Ultimate Planet (New) Author of the Year Award.
"The Knowing" is the first in a trilogy featuring Glasgow psychic Jen Keith and her police officer girlfriend, Kate Coutts. I am currently writing the second instalment, "A Love Like Ishinnie." Planet of the Books reviewed "The Knowing" and said..."...this book is probably one of the best I've ever read" giving five out of five stars.
I am working on another book, called "The Dairy of a Fat Cow", about the life of an over-weight Tesco night shift employee called Viv. Viv loves a good "Heart attack hamburger" and Jeremy Kyle.
I am Scottish, love football (supporting Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers) and am trying - unsuccessfully - to teach myself guitar. I am awaiting global stardom to come my way. Any day now.
I like to watch stuff like "Breaking Bad', "True Blood', "The Walkind Dead", "Greys Anatomy", "House of Cards", "True Detective" and "Game of Thrones". In fact, it's a miracle I get any writing done at all.

This short story collection I just finished reading is really...odd, but good odd as in I don't think I've ever ready anything like it before. Little Whispers has a style all its own and will reach out to anyone who has ever been captivated and captured by love.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, Little Whispers pulled me down with its sadness, but then would bring me back up with its promise of hope and the idea that love comes in many forms and can still be love even when it's not returned.
I often highlight in my Kindle, but never so much as this time around. Karen Campbell's writing is stark and painful and lovely and I found it be comforting and unnerving to recognize so much in her wonderful stories.
"I don't like the silence at night, in my blackened room. It makes me feel like a tree on its own. Trees should grow together, like a big family, shading and protecting each other."
"...so I turned my music up louder and I drowned the screams in my mind. Music can override every misery."
Having first read her work in L is For, I am super glad to have read Little Whispers and will definitely seek out more of her fiction.

A collection of little stories, loud thoughts and heavy emotions, written with a big heart. "Little Whispers" asks questions, leaves you wondering and thinking and sometimes it also might make you feel uncomfortable - though not in a bad way. The author cares for her voice and chooses wisely how to tell you what she wants to tell you. And so every now and then you are being attacked by a sentence that reaches your deepest.
