Suspense Historical Romance Science Fiction Fantasy Teen & Young Adult Advice & How To BIOGRAPHY
Karen A. Wyle was born a Connecticut Yankee, but moved every few years throughout her childhood and adolescence. After college in California, law school in Massachusetts, and a mercifully short stint in a large San Francisco law firm, she moved to Los Angeles, where she met her now-husband, who hates L.A. They eventually settled in Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University. They have two wildly creative daughters.
Wyle's voice is the product of almost five decades of reading both literary and genre fiction. It is no doubt also influenced, although she hopes not fatally tainted, by her years of law practice. Her personal history has led her to focus on often-intertwined themes of individual identity, liberty, family, communication, unintended consequences, and the persistence of unfinished business. Most of her novels are science fiction of one sort or another, though one could be called afterlife fantasy and she has recently moved into historical romance. She has also published one nonfiction book, a resource for authors, law students, or anyone else interested in understanding more about American law. |
