About
Hi, my name is Karen Gammons. I was born in 1966, in the state of Montana. Shortly after, we moved to Denver Colorado, where we lived until I was thirteen. Then we moved to the great state of Texas, where I have been ever since.
I love reading. All through my childhood you could find me with my nose in a book. I love to share my imagination and let people into my head by either writing or telling my kids bedtime stories. I started writing stories when I was twenty-eight. I have wanted to be an author ever since I was a child, however, I decided my family needed to come first, so I put it off until a few years later.
I reside in Hooks Texas, where I live with my wonderful husband Troy, my three beautiful children, Caleb, Randi and Haylee, two cats and one dog. Prince Andy and the Misfits, Shadow Man is my first published novel.

<font color="#000000"> <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;"><strong>Lenda Selph--Teacher/Proofreader</strong></span><br /><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">I absolutely
love this book! The theme of "Misfits" connects with the reader right
away, since so many people in real life feel as though they just don't
"fit in."
<br />Adults and children will see creatures and kingdoms leap off the
pages as the author expertly guides their imaginations, describing a
land ne'er before dreamed of.
<br />I can see teachers and parents reading this book to their
students/children with the fun of learning new words, like
"surreptitiously," and study guide questions to encourage discussion.
But the best part of all, it is fun to read--for all ages!</font><br /></font> <br /><font color="#000000"> <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;"><strong>Lisa Tortorello- Author of My Hero, My Ding</strong></span><br /><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">In Prince
Andy and the Misfits: Shadow Man, Karen does a wonderfully picturesque
job of making her readers feel that they themselves have been
transported to another land. I found myself enthralled with the
characters be it the elves, goblins, or myriad of others who show up
throughout the story. While set in far away lands, there are some tried
and true messages like good over evil, having a good heart, and most
importantly that it is okay to be different...(just like the Misfits
themselves); it's definitely what's on the inside that counts. This is a
greatly developed story that will leave you wanting more!

<br />Yesterday got my copy, at last. Only one problem, I have finished
it. It was enthralling. I started to read, and just continued till bed
time. Then first thing this morning, picked it up and finished it.
<br />Super and gripping. I hope the next installment is soon available.
<br />I do hope the readers of My wife's book are in for the same joy ride that I had.
