Karen Clark

Biography

Karen Clark is a true Renaissance woman with a vast career as an Italian-trained fashion designer, litigation paralegal, carpenter and wood floor mechanic to concert promoter, pet and housesitter, personal historian, landscape designer and IT/Word Processor at the ad agency that brought you the Pet Rock, just to name a few of her adventures. Like most midlife women who have gone through the “Change,” she now spends her time on artistic activities such as writing and spending time with her grandchildren—and yelling at politicians on television.

Singing in Silence is her debut novel. Her next book is NestQuest, her memoir of the twelve years it took to write this historical novel while suffering a brain injury from workplace bullying which led to homelessness at age sixty and her continuing quest to find a home. Her journey led to wanting to know more about the history of her brave ancestor’s quest for a home in America, culminating in driving herself through England, Ireland and Scotland in 2015. That journey revealed Mayflower ancestors, including the pilot of that famous voyage and her ten-times great grandmother who was one of the original Separatists and the aunt of Plymouth Governor William Bradford.

She has learned to Trust the Journey.

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I write in silence. Somedays I write all day long, others I might just jot down notes.
How do you approach cover design?
As a trained designer (fashion and landscape), it must be visually compelling and tell a story. I want to delight the eye with color, set a mood--and always have the right proportions.

Singing in Silence is a thrilling historical novel about a random series of events stretching back 500 years prophecizing the gathering of midlife women globally to usher in a new era--a culture of peace.
