Karen (K.S.) Jones grew up on a cotton farm in California’s Central San Joaquin Valley, the destination for thousands of families who fled the Dust Bowl during America’s Great Depression in the 1930s. Her family’s farmhouse held over five thousand books, so reading was expected and encouraged. It became her most-loved pastime, especially in the summer when she could climb up high onto the big limbs of a favorite old apricot tree and read amongst the birds. Her fondness for books came from reading the works of John Steinbeck, Jack London, H.G. Wells, Ernest Hemingway, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jules Verne, Mark Twain, and many more.
K.S. Jones currently lives in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, where she writes Historical Fiction and Contemporary Western Romance set in America.
In 2014, Southern Writers magazine awarded Karen their grand prize for “Best Short Fiction” of the year, and soon after, her first two novels were published. Her work has garnered numerous literary awards, including the WILLA Literary Award, the Chaucer Award, InD’tale magazine’s RONE Award, and twice she has received the Literary Classics International Book Award. In 2021, her short story “The Pretender” received top honors in the LAURA Awards from Women Writing the West.
In 2022, Change of Fortune, her Gold Rush novel, rose to #30 on Amazon's list of top 100 in American Historical Romances and also released that same year was her Great Depression-era novel, Two Sides of Truth. The new "True Hearts of Texas" series is available now! Look for Book #1, Tastefully Texas, for the first in the series.
