Long bio:

​

Karen McQuestion was born into the Erickson family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the second of four daughters. Like many people, her childhood was not particularly happy, making adulthood shine by comparison.

​

After graduating from high school, she attended the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but was forced to withdraw after the third year because she was unable to find parking. 

​

Many years of character-building jobs followed, along with marriage to Greg McQuestion, the smartest man she’d ever met. That opinion holds true to this day.

​

Three wonderful, beautiful children later, she decided to stop thinking about writing a novel and just do it. Over the next decade, she wrote six novels and acquired two different literary agents, neither of whom could sell her books to publishers.

​

In 2009, she was inspired by Boyd Morrison, one of the first authors to find success self-publishing on Amazon’s Kindle platform. Karen followed suit, uploading her previously rejected books and hoping for the best. When readers embraced her stories and she began to make actual money from her fiction, she was thrilled beyond measure (and still is).

​

Today she writes full time, happy to be able to get her stories on the page and out to appreciative readers. If you’re one of them, she wants you to know that she’s grateful, and doesn’t take you for granted.
