Karen Payton Holt: It has been a very long road, but the final instalment in the Fire & Ice series: Invasion, will be out in August.


Karen Payton Holt: I am currently participating in camp nano and doing writing sprints to get the word count up... target is 30k, and I am ahead of schedule. I find sprints are a good way to let thoughts pour out and they stop me editing and procrastinating. 😎


Karen Payton Holt: Hi, I just want to take a moment and say a huge thank you to every single person who has taken the time to review my writing. This site is a great place to share and improve your craft...no doubt about it.
    Child of the King: I agree with that Karen=== Have a Happy Easter -
    finaldraft: Karen, I've backed away for, what is it now, four years? Gonna give it another try and maybe clean up some of the scrapings I left on the site. Did you ever sell your work? I sure hope so. If you did, give me a place where I can purchase a copy. -


Karen Payton Holt: "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation". [Moby Dick: Herman Melville]


Karen Payton Holt: "It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it". [Jane Eyre: Charlotte Bronte.]
    Cumbrianlass: My favourite book. :D -
    aakemp: Karen, I went back and upgraded your last section to 5 stars which is what I had meant it to be in the first place. I'm glad you pointed that out!! -


Karen Payton Holt: "Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering." [Notes from Underground:Dostoevsky] Sums up writing to a tee!
    DIS-illusioned: A profoundly powerful proclamation!
    'Notes From The Underground' was 'The book' and Dostoevsky, 'The Man'! -


Karen Payton Holt: Hi All, as I start out on the journey to getting "Fire and Ice" in to print, I am sharing the process on my Facebook Page 'Karen Payton Holt'. If you want to find out where I am at...and 'like' my page, the more the merrier!

    James Sarzotti: Karen, so glad to hear you have representation for Fire and Ice. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought there was probably some exciting developments. I'm serializing A Weakness in the Family now, and am currently up to chapter 11. Would love your valued opinion. So happy to see Connor is back! -
    Eric J. Hildeman: Do let us know when the galleys are done so that we can keep an eye out for it on Amazon.com. -

Three grown-up children and the grandchildren just keep on coming!!

Came very late to writing, always thought of novels as something professional writers did, but finally had a stab at it.

Drop by if you are brave, curious, jaded or easily scared; all comers welcome!
