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.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<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 &quot;Misfits&quot; connects with the reader right away, since so many people in real life feel as though they just don't &quot;fit in.&quot; <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 &quot;surreptitiously,&quot; 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 /><br />Author of My Hero, My Ding <br />Lisa Tortorello <br /></font><br /></font><br /><font color="#000000"> <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;"><strong>Michael Abel-Smith</strong></span><br /><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Hi Karen. <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. <br />Michael Abel-Smith.</font> </font>
