Karen Tuft was born with a healthy dose of curiosity about pretty much everything, so as a child she taught herself to read and play the piano. She studied music composition and graduated in music theory, both of which came in surprisingly handy when she began writing fiction. She has written three contemporary romances and several Regency romances, including the popular Jennings series, as well as short stories and articles. Among her varied interests, she likes to figure out what makes people tick, wander through museums, and travel—whether it’s by car, plane, or paperback.
