Love on the Mend

February 5, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

I'm excited to announce that my latest project, Love on the Mend, has just released! This is an e-novella that loosely ties in to my previous novel Full Steam Ahead, though the characters and setting are separate enough to stand alone.

Heirloom Recipes

November 20, 2014 By Karen Witemeyer

I have to admit that between working a day job full-time, writing full-time, and running Mom's taxi service, I purchase dinner as often as I make it at home. OK, maybe more often than I make it at home. However, with the holidays approaching, I have big plans for getting back into the kitchen. I'll be hosting Thanksgiving and have already purchased the turkey, red garnet yams for my mom's candied … [Read more...]
