Karen Harper, author of novels of suspense set in past and present

Welcome!

As many of her fans already know, New York Times bestselling author, Karen Harper, passed away from cancer last year, which is a major loss for her many enthusiastic readers. Her last romantic suspense, Under the Alaskan Ice, was just released and should be on sale everywhere. Information on the book is below.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS SURFACES...

When a small bush plane smashes through the ice at Falls Lake Lodge, it’s a chilling reminder of everything Megan Metzler has lost. Three years ago, Meg’s pilot husband died in a similar crash, a tragedy Meg and her young son, Chip, have struggled to move on from. Still, Meg does everything she can to assist when Commander Bryce Saylor arrives to investigate, even as working alongside the handsome pilot stirs up painful memories—and an attraction that catches them both off guard.

Bryce knows time is of the essence as he plunges into the frigid water in search of clues. But when vital evidence is destroyed, it soon becomes clear this downed plane was no accident. With someone tracking them from the woods, Meg and Bryce must race to unravel a mystery as indomitable as the Alaskan wilderness, or they might be the next victims to crash and burn…

DOUBLE DATING

This has never happened in my 38-year career,
But two new, very different books are coming out quite near.
Late April a romance/suspense DEEP IN THE ALASKAN WOODS,
Mid-May a new historical I hope you think is good.
THE QUEEN’S SECRET features the queen of England’s WW II.
She was listened to by powerful men and was heroic too.
So whether it’s Alaska or London in the blitz,
I hope you’ll want to read both books and enjoy every bit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

A New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author, Karen Harper is a former college English instructor (The Ohio State University) and high school literature and writing teacher. A lifelong Ohioan, Karen and her husband love to travel. Besides her American settings, Karen loves the British Isles, where her Scottish and English roots run deep, and where she has set many of her historical novels about real British women: THE ROYAL NANNY, THE IT GIRLS (Oct. 2017), and AMERICAN DUCHESS, yet to come.

The Harpers lived in SW Florida for many winters so her suspense novels, the SOUTH SHORES SERIES, are set in the tropics. These books include CHASING SHADOWS, DROWNING TIDES and FALLING DARKNESS with SHALLOW GRAVE and other titles coming in the future.

Karen's books have been published in many foreign languages and are available in print and ebook formats in English. Most are in large print and audio. She won the Mary Higgins Clark Award for her Amish-setting novel, DARK ANGEL. Karen has given numerous talks to readers and writers across the country. Her author collection is with The Ohio State University Rare Books and Manuscript Library.
