About Karen Kingsbury

American author, Karen Kingsbury, is the country's bestselling, inspirational storyteller. She has over twenty-five million copies of her books in print. She knew she wanted to be a writer as soon as ten years old, falling for the Dr. Seuss at the age of 5. She was born in Fairfax, Virginia, but given her dad's computer programming job, the family of seven moved quite often. When Karen was 10, they moved to the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. Just thirty minutes from the beach, she spent hours sitting on the sand, reading her books, and dreaming of being a novelist.

Karen's journalism teacher placed her on the newspaper staff at Pierce College, and told her to never stop writing. She graduated from California State University at Northridge with a degree in journalism. She immediately began a job as a sports writer for the Los Angeles Times. She wrote mostly high school sports articles in the beginning, but later wrote for college and national professional sports. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Don. He was a handsome young man with an extraordinary love of Jesus Christ. Karen tells the story that he came to pick her up for their first date, with Bible in hand. It became what she considered annoying after three months, so she confronted him about it. Don left that day, but God would bring them back together. She unknowingly came to understand Don's thoughts about life as a Christian. They married and lived their married life as God would see fit. When she found out she was pregnant after six months of marriage, she did not know how she
would take care of a baby with such a busy work schedule. Don said that God would show them the way to write at home. Later, she submitted an article to People Magazine, and they thought the article would make a great book. Karen submitted a book proposal, a bidding war resulted, and she ended up with a book deal that paid her a little more than she already made in one whole year of work. She has been home writing books ever since.

Karen wrote four books in the crime genre, then decided to switch to books that glorified God. Her first novel in the new genre was ......Where Yesterday Lives. It was published in 1997, the same year their third child was born. Ever since her first novel, she wrote life-changing fiction. She said God puts a story on her heart and in her mind. Many of her books are under development with Hallmark Films and as major movies.

Karen and Don now live in Tennessee. She is an adjunct professor of writing at Liberty University. In 2001, they adopted three boys from Haiti, very quickly doubling their family. They are now empty nesters, living near their five adult children.

AudiobooksNow review by Kathy10 on 2010-06-24 19:12:09

I had to quit listening by disk two so I no doubt missed the story. As the story was starting up I was simply sidetracked by all the bible verses. When I was told 3 times within 30 minutes how I should be feeling about abortion instead of feeling it for myself by way of the story I gave up on it in disgust. I was looking forward to a story to unwind and enjoy my drive while contemplating my feelings as the story unfolded. I felt more like I was having someone else's opinion force fed. The funny thing is, I agree with the stance on abortion, but couldn't stomach being told how I should feel. I didn't find the bible verses inspirational rather, stuck in place for each character as a personal message from God. I see there is a large loyal following of this author and I respect that and her devoted readers. It just wasn't my style even though I have enjoyed many inspirational books.

Goodreads review by Sally on September 12, 2023

A very well written story with many spiritual insights and scriptures. It started out with the death of a newborn baby. It was very depressing initially and the print was very light and difficult for old eyes. The plot line improved with Dayne and Katy’s marriage heading towards the end, as well as......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (Always Behind) on June 11, 2018

Dayne and Katy survive a misunderstanding. An affair that occurs seems disjointed from rest of the story. As the Baxter series winds to an end, Kingsbury begins to tie things up for all of the characters. The portion of the plot centering around the affair feels forced. Telling it from the point of vi......more
