Karen Clarke lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband and three grown-up children, where she writes romantic comedy novels and psychological suspense. When she's not writing, she reads a lot, enjoys walking - which is good for plot-wrangling and ideas, watching Netflix, baking and eating cakes. And then more walking to work off the cakes.
