Amazon Bestselling Author of The Afterland Chronicles and Dark Fairy Tale Series
Hi, there! I'm Karen Wrighton, an established British author of books for teenagers, young adults and adults with young hearts.
My work falls into the broad genre of Speculative Fiction, a type of story writing that involves supernatural, futuristic or other imagined elements. This encompasses the traditional genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Supernatural Fiction and Science Fantasy.
This eclectic genre provides me with the flexibility to write stories that at first glance may appear very different, yet they all maintain that 'other worldly' element which I love, and which has come to characterise my work.
My books include my début novel ASCENSION OF THE WHYTE which became an Amazon Bestseller, as did the second in the series RYTE OF PASSAGE. The Afterland Chronicles series, described as Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter, was completed in 2017 with the release of ICE AND FYRE, the third book in the series.
My new Dark Fairy Tale Series commenced with a Dystopian novel - THE LAST GIRL GUIDE a dark post-apocalyptic YA book based loosely around the Red Riding Hood Fairy Tale.
I am currently working on the second book in the series - RABBIT GIRL, which is a dark contemporary adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
I had high expectations after the first book, and I was not let down by Ryte of Passage. I enjoyed it even more than the first, and the story was everything I hoped for and more. I loved getting to know Rose and her friends in more depth, going on an epic journey with them through The Afterlands. The world just gets more magical in this book, and I felt so immersed in it, and so close to the characters. It was such a page turner - and the book left me wanting the next instalment straight away!!
A fantastic sequel, to an amazing fantasy series - can't wait for the next one!
