Karen Monroe

Karen Monroe sails all over the world in the United States Navy. In her travels, she's had the pleasure of encountering some very sexy men of different cultures and appetites. Her stories are born from fifty percent experience (she calls it research) and fifty percent vivid erotic fantasy.

Karen's love for romance novels started in the sixth grade, when a far-sighted librarian overlooked a Harlequin Temptation she had mistakenly slipped into her check out stack. After that fateful day, her writing lot in life was sealed. A stint at erotic dancing helped mold her perception of its contribution into today's lifestyle. The experience and understanding of that growing sub-culture provides Karen with the basis of some of her best stories.

In addition to writing and sailing the seven seas, Karen enjoys exotic cuisines, windowshopping (she's in the Navy, give her a break!) sightseeing, learning new languages, and, most important, meeting guys. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of California at Los Angeles and is currently working on obtaining a Masters in English. When not out boating, Karen calls San Diego home, where she keeps a stash of one dollar bills for Ladies Night Out.
