Karen White

I grew up being a voracious reader and it was a natural step to turn my interest to writing. I have published 34 award-winning and bestselling novels including my latest releases, THE HOUSE ON PRYTANIA, published by Penguin Random House in May, 2023. This is the 2nd book in the New Orleans-set Royal Street series, to be followed by a third book, THE LADY ON ESPLANADE, scheduled for publication on November 4, 2025. My next book, THAT LAST CAROLINA SUMMER, will be published by Park Row Books (a division of HarperCollins) on July 22, 2025. I write what others have termed "grit-lit"--southern women's fiction, as well as two contemporary paranormal mystery series. I have also written five collaborations with bestselling authors Lauren Willig and Beatriz Williams. The most recent, THE AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO MURDER, was published my William Morrow in November, 2024. I have two grown children (one of whom appears in several of my books under the alias of Meghan Black), and live near Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and one spoiled Havanese dog, Sophie Belle.
