Q & A with historical fiction author Karen Harper

The Last Boleyn by Karen Harper

I have posted my exclusive interview with Karen Harper, author of The Last Boleyn, Mistress Shakespeare, The Queen’s Governess and a mystery series on Elizabeth I.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Karen Harper is a former college English instructor (The Ohio State University) and high school literature and writing teacher. A lifelong Ohioan, Karen and her husband Don divide their time between the midwest and the southeast, both locations she has used in her books. Besides her American settings, Karen loves the British Isles, where her Scottish and English roots run deep, and where she has set many of her historical Tudor-era mysteries and her historical novels about real and dynamic British women. Karen’s books have been published in many foreign languages and she won the Mary Higgins Clark Award for 2005.
