Karen Kay
Nominee for Outstanding Author in Multicultural Romance 2014
Writing under the pen names of Karen Kay and Gen Bailey, Karen is the author of seventeen bestselling historical romances. She has been praised by reviewers and fans alike for bringing the historic American Indian culture to life, and she has been nominated for several different awards.
Karen's great-grandmother was Choctaw Indian, and because of this, she is honored to be able to write stories that depict the Native American point of view. Her research continues to take her all over the country, where she goes through tribal councils to consult with leaders on Native American reservations, to attend pow-wows and festivals. She also supports organizations including the World Literacy Crusade to try to help eliminate illiteracy.
Karen Kay appears to be the physical embodiment of the powerful messages of her books. Looking very much like one of her own heroines -- slender, exotic, wearing the flowing dresses she favors with elaborate Indian style jewelry -- she moves with grace through every aspect of her life. She has a quiet but strong presence, and a beautiful sparkle when she looks at you and speaks. Her stories will appeal to people of all cultures. Her romantic heroes and heroines will capture reader's hearts. The essence of her stories reveals qualities that create loving bonds, help to cross bridges and ensure everlasting relationships.
All seventeen of her books concern the Native American culture, and says Karen, "With the power and passion of romance, I hope to bring about an awareness of the vital forces that helped shape the American Indian culture. There are some things that should never be forgotten."
