Karen Cantwell

Karen Cantwell lives in the wild and crazy suburbs of Northern Virginia. She has no hobbies, she can't cook or sew, she's terrible at crossword puzzles, and she can kill a houseplant in a week without breaking a sweat. Luckily, Karen can string a few words together and has a knack for making people laugh, so she chose to write humorous mysteries for a living. The Barbara Marr Murder Mystery, Take the Monkeys and Run, is her first novel, and she's thankful that people enjoyed it enough to warrant writing a few more. Karen loves to hear from readers.
