Confessions of a Scoundrel (26 page)

KAREN HAWKINS
discovered the joy of writing at the age of two when she found herself holding a red crayon and facing a lovely blank wall. Since then, she's developed her skills beyond the crayon stage, though she admits that no matter her profession, her favorite exercise will always be writing checks at the local mall. A woman can never have too many shoes.

Winner of an RWA Favorite Book of the Year as well as the prestigious Maggie Award for Excellence, Karen writes full time when not shopping for shoes.
