"KT writes thought-provoking,
tender and very character-driven romances -- real characters
dealing with real-life issues. 
She has fast become one of my
favorite authors -- once you pick
up one of her books, there's no
going back."

Dear Santa

Here I was, all set to tell y’all about my new series for Silhouette Special Edition (which is still on, don’t panic, I’ll get to it in a sec), but I have to interrupt myself to announce that…THE VACCAROS ARE COMING BACK! 

Apparently my GUYS AND DAUGHTERS series did so well (thankyouthankyouthankyou, all ye who bought/reviewed/blogged about/fell in love with the books) that my editor thought maybe I’d like to write a new Vaccaro/Guys and Daughters book for Special Edition’s “Famous Families” year-long promotion in 2009.  I think I said “yes” before the question was all the way out of her mouth. So. There will be another Vaccaro story, in August of 2009.  And no, I don’t know the title. Or much about the story (have to write it first), although I can tell you Tony Vaccaro is Mia’s, Rudy’s and Kevin’s hottie cousin, even if, as a single father of three daughters, hot is one thing he doesn’t feel.  But that will change.  Oh, that will definitely change…

But before that I’m starting up a new series (told you I’d get back to it) called WED IN THE WEST, set in a tiny, Northern New Mexican mountain town based (very loosely) on a real village close to Santa Fe my husband and I visited last year. The first one, A MOTHER’S WISH (August 2008, July on eHarlequin), is actually a story I’ve had cocooned in the old gray matter for years, about a woman who gave up her baby for adoption several years before and now decides she just wants to see how the child is doing.  Falling in love with her son’s recently widowed father, however, was definitely not part of the plan. Then, in January 2009 (December on eHarlequin), look for REINING IN THE RANCHER, a story with two pregnancies, five dogs, a gal who lives in a tarted up convenience store and a couple who discovers that, sometimes, breaking up isn’t the end, it’s only the beginning…

And, as always, all my Silhouettes are available in Large Print and eBook editions as well as good old mass market, for your convenience.

So poke around, read excerpts, drop me a line…I love hearing from my readers (and I’ll even write back, promise!).

"Karen Templeton writes amazing category romances that are exactly what I love reading.
She leaves me in awe of just how much skill it takes to write a really good category romance.
Seriously, her work rocks."
