Karen Amanda Hooper

Karen is a twisted little pixie who dances down rabbit holes and rides shooting stars while playing a never-ending game of “Imagine If…”

She then writes about her impossible and fantastical musings and calls herself an author.

Karen was born and bred in Baltimore, frolicked and froze in Colorado for a couple of years and is currently sunning and splashing around Florida.

Outside of writing, Karen enjoys reading, music, dancing, traveling, the beach, popping popcorn the old-fashioned way, jumping out of airplanes, and flying to Neverland with her prince.

Books by Karen:

Tangled Tides
Yara Jones doesn’t believe in sea monsters—until she becomes one.

When a hurricane hits her island home and she wakes up with fins, Yara finds herself tangled up in an underwater world of mysterious merfolk and secretive selkies. Both sides believe Yara can save them by fulfilling a broken promise and opening the sealed gateway to their realm, but they are battling over how it should be done. The selkies want to take her life. The merfolk want something far more precious.

Treygan, the stormy-eyed merman who turned Yara mer, will stop at nothing and sacrifice everything to protect his people—until he falls for Yara. The tides turn as Yara fights to save herself, hundreds of sea creatures, and the merman who has her heart. She could lose her soul in the process—or she might open the gateway to a love that’s deeper than the oceans.
