Karen Perkins is the author of the Pendle Witch Short Stories, the Yorkshire Ghost Stories and the Valkyrie Series of Caribbean pirate adventures. All of her fiction has appeared at the top of bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic, including the top 21 in the UK Kindle Store in 2018. Her first Yorkshire Ghost Story – THE HAUNTING OF THORES-CROSS – won the Silver Medal for European Fiction in the prestigious 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards in New York, whilst her Valkyrie novel, DEAD RECKONING, was long-listed in the 2011 MSLEXIA novel competition. |
Originally a financial advisor, a sailing injury left Karen with a chronic pain condition which she has been battling for over twenty years (although she did take the European ladies title despite the injury!). Writing has given her a new lease of – and purpose to – life, and she is currently working on more Pendle Witch stories, plus a return to Haworth in: A Question of Witchcraft: A Pendle Witch Haunting.
When not writing, she helps other authors prepare their books for publishing and has edited nearly 200 titles, including the 2017 Kindle UK Storyteller Award winner, The Relic Hunters by David Leadbeater, and has also published a series of publishing guides to help aspiring authors realise their own dreams.
