Sliding Doors – release day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee…Yay! 🎵It’s been a long time coming, but it’s out today! 🎶 Cometh the hour…cometh the day…cometh the book, Sliding Doors.

It’s up and running worldwide on Amazon and available in eBook, Kindle Unlimited, and will be available in paperback in a few days’ time. This is usually the point when I say, “Right! Now, I’m on a flight bound for (insert lovely city) to join a cruise to exotic places. But nope, there’s no cruising for me…of any kind (wink, wink).

So let’s celebrate with a competition to win a signed paperback of Sliding Doors instead. All you have to do is comment on any of my social media accounts, or on the Facebook pages where I’ve shared this blog, or by contact via my website. Tell me what life you would like to inhabit instead of your own — or tell me why you love your own life! I’ll get my word gurus over at Global Wordsmiths to help me pick the most original answer, and the winner will get a nice, shiny copy of Sliding Doors delivered to anywhere in the world.

I hope you enjoy reading my new romance as much as I loved writing it. Once again, a huge thank you for all your support and encouragement—it really is appreciated.

Keep safe, keep healthy, keep sane, and have fun. 😀

Food for the Soul

Hey guys, I’m mega thrilled about my first few reviews for Sliding Doors. If anyone’s forgotten…it’s out on 15^th June! Here are a few excerpts, and I’d like to take this moment to thank you all. You work so hard getting all these reviews out…and believe me, it’s much appreciated.

Carol Hutchinson (LesBiReviewed): Firstly, Karen’s stories just keep getting better and better, and each time she brings us a new one I am blown away by the amount of imagination. Something that Karen is brilliant at though is parallel universes and once again she has created a brilliant scenario for a story. The concept behind this one is innovative and like nothing I have read before. It is actually something that fascinates me and to read a story about it was interesting as it showed Karen’s perception of such a surreal and complex, yet completely believable sci-fi type idea. I really do hope that parallel worlds like this exist because it would be so cool.

Kitty McIntosh (KittyKatBlog): “I must admit I did not like Alex at all at first, but by the end she was my favourite character in the book. Ms Klyne’s skilful storytelling took me on a journey where my preconceptions were turned on their head. It was a wonderful story, full of magic and wonder and mystery. It was also, ultimately, beautifully romantic and I defy anyone not to have a wee tear in their eye. I absolutely loved it.”

Ameliah Faith: “The characters are, for the most part great, the story fascinating and interesting, the plot is something I have never seen before and the writing spot on. This story had a lot of drama and a lot of conflict. It held my attention the whole way through and I stayed up way too late to finish reading it, I couldn’t bear the thought of not knowing how it ended. Very well, by the way!! I was so pleased to have had the chance to read this book and can’t wait to read it again!”

Thank you once again for your reviews. I hope everyone likes it as much as these three lovely reviewers.

Beyond the Sliding Doors

I’ve been having a blast seeing Love for Auction do so well on the Amazon charts, but it’s time to start telling you all about my next book, due out soon:

Have you ever felt that your life is slipping away day by day and you long for something different, something exciting? Have you thought that you’ve been dealt a bad hand of cards, and they simply don’t suit you?

What if you could deal again? What if you could swap lives with someone else and have another go? Would you take it? Would you risk it for a second crack at happiness?

Gemma Tennant did, but she swaps lives with Alex Gambol, someone who is completely unaware of the possibilities. Gemma knows the risks she’s taken, but Alex is bemused, thrown into a life completely alien to her…but not completely unwelcome.

How will they cope? Will either find their dream life behind those sliding doors? Will they find love?

Of course, there’s an element of magic, but the story is set in contemporary England, where everything is almost the same…

They both have a new deck of cards in their hands. The question is, how will each woman play them.

New Release Day!

Yippee! It’s the release day for Love for Auction, my first shot at contemporary romance. It covers two of my favourite topics, age-gap and homecoming.

Love for Auction is up and running worldwide on Amazon and available in eBook, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback.

Right now, I’m on a flight bound for Miami for a Christmas cruise around the Caribbean. I love my cruises. So many interesting people to meet, and some who may crop up in my future books! Of course, I’m really looking forward to some sunbeams too after the past couple of rainy months in the UK.

To my readers, I’d like to say a huge thank you for all your support and encouragement. It really is appreciated.

I truly hope you’ll make a bid for Love for Auction and look forward to your reviews.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. And above all, have fun!

Romancing the Reviews

Reviews: I’ve been banging on about these a bit, but they’re so important to every author. You see, you write your book, you love it, and after a lot of hard work, you put it out there. You hope your readers feel the same, but the only way you’ll know is if they leave a review. It’s also valuable information for others to see. It’s a fantastic way of connecting and a good review gives you a buzz. It’s a bit like buying that perfect Christmas gift for someone you care about…they open it and their happiness is overwhelming. Like a cuddly pooch, a review isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life! So go on, give your favourite author their best Christmas gift ever!

On that note…Merry Christmas. And remember it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice!
