Karen Swan began her career in fashion journalism before giving it all up to raise her three children and to pursue her ambition of becoming a writer. She lives in the forest in Sussex, writing her books in a treehouse overlooking the Downs. Her debut novel Players, has since been followed by several further novels including Christmas in the Snow, The Perfect Present, Christmas on Primrose Hill and the sequel to Christmas at Tiffany's – Summer at Tiffany's.
Her books are known for their evocative locations and Karen sees travel as vital research for each story. She loves to set deep, complicated love stories within twisting plots.
