Kara D WilsonKara D. Wilson has been writing creatively since the young age of 13. It has always been her dream to become a prominent, young adult author. Despite the fact that over the years she has written numerous novels, she has deemed the majority of them as"practice books." Her first novel, The Regent's Daughter, was published in 2012. Kara prides herself in writing strong, realistic characters who, despite their flaws and weaknesses, are relatable and personable. No matter the realm, she works to find a balance between the grit and harshness of reality and the fantasy of engaging characters and plots. Because Kara believes that reading a book should be not only an adventure but a learning experience wherein the reader learns and grows with the protagonist, she continuously emulates real-world problems and contentious issues to promote critical thinking and problem solving. Kara currently lives in McKinney, TX with her husband and four furry children. She graduated from the University of Arkansas with an MA in Communication in 2012. In her free time she enjoys playing piano, hiking, watching Japanese animation (anime), teaching ESL to foreign students, and working on her next novel. Read More Read Less
