Brief Author Bio: Karen Harrington is the author of JANEOLOGY (KUNATI, 2008) - Grieving over his wife's inexplicable descent into madness, Texas college professor Tom Nelson endeavors to find clues in her family history to explain her sudden violence. JANEOLOGY explores the question - what role do genetics and family history play in shaping an individual's impulse control? Karen's first writing gigs were in corporate America as an editor and speechwriter. Her fiction writing has been recognized by the Hemingway Short Story Competition and the Texas Film Institute. SHAMELESS PLUGS Harrington begins with a fascinating premise and develops it fully. Tom and his wife emerge as compelling, complexly developed individuals. This debut novel is as much a character study as a legal thriller. -- BOOKLIST Janeology is a thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging read. -- BOOKBITCH In a thriller world saturated with James Pattersons, John Grishams and Stephen Kings, this debut novel from Karen Harrington comes as a breath of fresh air. The whole drama culminates in a finish that will rattle your genes. -- NEW MYSTERY READER |

Synopsis: Mrs. Boyd
A contemporary, set-in-Texas take on Flaubert's classic Madame Bovary.
Excerpt: Mrs. Boyd
The fact that Charlie Boyd was good with a hammer, gifted with a dove-tail jig, led him to all the good and bad events in his life. If not for these talents, he would never have met his first wife, now dead, and his second wife, now missing.
