About the Author

Karen Templeton

As the mother of five sons, now grown, I love to write about real people dealing with the drama (and humor) of everyday life. And dogs. And sometimes cats, but mostly dogs. Because you simply can't get too overly serious about stuff with a dog in the house.

Over the past fifteen years, I've written nearly 40 books for Harlequin/Silhouette and Red Dress Ink, and three of my Special Edition titles (A Mother's Wish (2009) Welcome Home, Cowboy (2011) and A Gift for All Seasons (2013) have won the RITA award, the romance industry's top prize for published authors. And I was thrilled when my November 2014 title, Santa's Playbook, earned the Romantic Times Gold Seal of Excellence, out of the hundreds of releases reviewed by the magazine for that month.

I am very active on Facebook, both under my pen name Karen Templeton and my full name, Karen Templeton Berger, running giveaway contests whenever I have a new book out...or just feel like it. I also maintain a website with all my most recent news, as well as excerpts from my entire backlist. So come say "hi." And if you should feel so inclined as to leave a review -- however brief -- of any of my books, that would really make my day.

Happy reading!
