KAREN SIMPSON

Writer. Author. Quilter. Storyteller.

Welcome to my website. My debut novel, ACT OF GRACE, is on sale now, and it was a long, but fulfilling, road to publication. I am humbled by all the awards I have received for this book, including the Go on Girls Book Club Author of the Year. Since then, I have had an excerpt of my upcoming children's book All the Beautiful Horses published in the widely acclaimed Light of the Rabbit Moon and I am feverishly working on completing my latest novel, The Naming of Quilts. I’m excited that you stopped by, and I encourage you to keep visiting to stay-up-to-date on upcoming projects, appearances, special promotions and events. 

​

Beyond keeping up with book projects, you will also learn from this site that I love to cook, quilt, history and horses! My passions show up in all sorts of ways within my writing, life and projects.

I invite you to join my new Instagram community as well as my personally curated Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts. Have a personal question? Shoot me an email at simpsonactofgrace{at}gmail.com. I’d love to hear your thoughts on ACT OF GRACE and to communicate with my fellow writers. As an author, I aim to create a better understanding of the world and our place in it.
