I’ve been posting here monthly for about two years now and it feels like yesterday that Felicia introduced me as one of the fillies. It’s been wonderful posting here with all of you. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me, too.
Over the past year, I’ve signed two contracts one with Love Inspired Suspense and one with Barbour Publishing, neither of which were/are about cowboys. In fact, my writing has gone from mainly historical western romance to contemporary romantic suspense. I began to notice that I was struggling to find ways to make my current writing fit on the blog.
It’s important to me that this group remains cohesive, even if that means I’m not a part of it. I’m still good friends with all the fillies and I will be stopping by as a guest to say hello when I can. I hope those of you who enjoy my writing will continue to follow me. I’m excited to see where the road ahead will lead.
So, just know that this is goodbye, but only ‘for now’. Much love to all of you.
Kari
Where western meets happily ever after.
Kari writes swoony heroes and places that become characters with detail and heart.
Her favorite place to write about is the place her heart lives, (even if she doesn't) South Dakota.
Kari loves reading, listening to contemporary Christian music, singing when no one's listening, and curling up near the wood stove when winter hits. She makes her home in central Minnesota, land of frigid toes and mosquitoes the size of compact cars, with her husband of over twenty years. They have two daughters, two sons, one cat, and one hungry wood stove.
All the best to you, and I will continue to read your books since I read in all Christian romance categories.
So glad to hear it. Thank you Janice!
I will continue to read your books I read the love inspired suspense and also books from Barbour publishing. Read most all books in the Christian genre.
I’m so glad! My book with Barbour is tentatively scheduled for November of this year.
Nice to have met you Kari in Deadwood and I wish you all the best. Thank you for blogging here for as long as you were able. Bye for now until we meet again. Maybe I’ll run in to you at Emily’s Bookstore! Never know! God bless you.
Kathy, I would love that! It was wonderful meeting you.
I wish you the very best and I’m excited to see what your future holds! Romantic suspense is a favorite genre and Barbour is a wonderful publisher.
Thank you so much!
