SUPER NEWS FROM MY PUBLISHERS!

I'm delighted to announce that 'Murder in Park Lane', book#5 in the Detective Lavender Mysteries, has just passed 50,000 sales worldwide.
That's at least 20,000 sales in the last year alone, and I sincerely hope it brought pleasure to every reader and a few hours distraction from the grim and frightening news about this nasty pandemic.
Thank you to all my loyal readers for their continued support.

News: Success of 'Irish Nell' & 'The Willow Marsh Murder'

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

2020 has already begun with a BANG! for myself and Detective Stephen Lavender.
My short story, The Death of Irish Nell has had a flurry of sales over the last few month, especially in the UK, and is doing very well in the Amazon rankings. It was lovely to see her awarded an Amazon 'Best Seller' badge.

In addition to this, both Irish Nell and my forthcoming new novel, The Willow Marsh Murder, have been promoted on Amazon as HOT NEW RELEASES in Historical Mysteries.
Apart from doing my famous 'Happy Author Dance' around the kitchen, I added a sexy little wiggle at the end of my usual routine to celebrate my hotness.  Although, when several FB readers on my Author Page asked if they could buy tickets or get video evidence, I stopped that nonsense straight away.

'THE SCULTHORPE MURDER' REACHES 50,000 SALES

I am absolutely delighted. My publishers have just informed me that 'The Sculthorpe Murder' has already made 50,000 sales worldwide in the 9 months since its publication. It seems unbelievable that this many readers have followed Detective Lavender and Constable Woods to the third book in the series. In addition to this, the reviews on both sides of the Atlantic have been fantastic! It has an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars in the UK.
My happy but crazy imagination is now trying to work out what 50,000 readers look like...it's a football stadium full, isn't it? 
Cue happy author dance around the kitchen....

'Heiress' Reaches Milestone 100,000 Sales 

Santa came early to me this year with some amazing news about the Detective Lavender series. THE SANS PAREIL MYSTERY passed its 50,000 sales milestone and THE HEIRESS OF LINN HAGH passed an incredible 100,000 sales! My publsishers sent me a commemorative plaque to mark this milestone which now has pride of place under my kitchen Christmas tree until I can find it a permanent home.
My publishers are delighted with the continued success of the series - and the fabulous reviews 'The Sculthorpe Murder' has achieved in the UK.
I'm a very happy author and I sincerely hope that Christmas 2016 turns out to be as wonderful for you as it has for me.

Take care, and thank you for all your support. Karen xxx

50,000 SALES OF
'THE HEIRESS OF LINN HAGH'

I have just received a congratulatory email from my publishers, Thomas & Mercer. They tell me that since last June I have sold 50,000 copies of the first novel in The Detective Lavender Mysteries: 'The Heiress of Linn Hagh.'
This is on top of the 20,000 copies I sold before that when the novel was self-published.
I am completely over the moon about this but am having trouble visualising such incredible sales! Happy author here. 
​
You may also be interested to know that when the book was first published by Knox Robinson Publishing back in 2012... it only sold a miserable 35 copies in twelve months.
​Ah, the difference a decent publisher can make... ;)
