Karlene Pitters

I was always a creative person but didn't discover my passion for writing until 14 years ago. I have been writing ever since but didn't pursue it as a career until seven years ago. The idea of writing a book came to me during a dream. I found my pssion and haven't look back.

My writing is simple and straight to the point - no Purple Prose for me. I spend much of my time developing the characters. You have to know your hero and heroine inside out for them to come to life. I want my readers to talk about my characters as if they were real people. I work hard to make them distinctive.

I used to read Harlequin Romance novels in my teens, and it's what inspired me to want to write in the romance genre. My brand or style is writing multi-cultural romance; it's what I relate to the most.
