Karen Goldner

Karen Goldner left a lifetime of living in small Midwestern cities to drive around the United States, eventually landing in the King of Midwestern cities. She spends her days helping small businesses grow and her evenings exploring Chicago and writing, not necessarily in that order.

As a college intern, Karen saw her words in print when the Lincoln Star quoted a Nebraska State Senator for whom she had written a speech. On the front page. Above the fold. She was hooked.

Passing Semis in the Rain is not her first novel, but it’s the first one that’s any good. She is working on the second book in the Tina Johnson series. The second one, of course, is set in Chicago.
