Houston Bay Area is dedicated to encouraging and supporting the romance writers, both published and aspiring, in its membership.
aren Young, the bestselling author of more than 30 novels and several novellas, has been writing popular fiction for 20 years and is known for her sensitive treatment of contemporary issues facing women. "My novels deal with the concept of the evolved woman-one who's able to look her personal demons in the eye and solve her problems...regardless." In her varied storylines, she's dealt with teen pregnancy, infidelity, alcoholism, domestic abuse and child pornography, but it is her goal to leave her reader feeling hopeful and uplifted. Karen, too, has evolved as an author, moving from traditional romances to stories with more sophisticated plots, including mystery/thrillers and contemporary women's fiction. Whatever the "category," Karen feels comfortable writing books that women want to read. Along with a RITA® Award from the Romance Writers of America for her book The Silence of Midnight, Karen is also the recipient of Career Achievement and Reviewer's Choice Awards from Romantic Times magazine. At the University of New Orleans, she taught aspiring writers "How to Write a Romance Novel" and she's given many workshops. She's been called "a spellbinding storyteller who explores complex emotions with great skill." |
