Karen Tintori graduated from Wayne State University in Detroit, where she majored in journalism, covered the campus for the New York Times and met her future husband over typewriters at the student newspaper. She was an assistant editor on the FTD FLORIST Magazine and had a successful career in public relations before she began writing books.
Karen is active in the Jewish community and in Italian genealogy. She has visited Italy numerous times, is studying Italian and holds dual American and Italian citizenship. She lives in Michigan with her husband and one of their two sons. Their home is filled with books, many stacked in Karen’s to-be-read pile.
Karen knew she’d be a writer from age twelve. As a child, she walked ten blocks to the public library, checked out as many books as she could carry between her interlocked fingers and her chin, read them quickly and returned for another stack.
Before she was thirteen, she’d read the entire children’s section and bristled when the librarians would not permit her to borrow books from the adult section until she was of age. Patience was a lesson she’d begin to learn early—the librarians invited her, instead, to re-read the children’s section. Little did she know then that she would pen books that became international bestsellers and movies and are translated into nearly 30 languages.
