Karen KayWriter's Block: Three Tried-and-True Ways |
|
|
Karen Kay is known as the authentic American Indian romance author. Her love of writing combined with her love of the American Indian culture is evident in her writings. She depicts the Indian way of life, incorporating little known facts with the overall picture of the way the Indian truly lived. Her books center upon the American Indian culture as it was--a true picture--not colored with the sensationalism of death and destruction as was depicted by the newspapers and 'eyewitnesses' of the time, who often carried more political ambition, than truth.
