Karin Tabke is a multi-published, national bestselling, award-winning author. Karin has sold more than a dozen stories to US publishers: Kensington, Simon & Schuster, and Penguin. Her self-publishing debut, THE CHRONICLES of KATRINA, was met with resounding enthusiasm. Never one to disappoint her readers, Karin happily launched the spinoff series The Bad Boys of the Bay, featuring the heroes she knows so well-hot cops. Karin's books have also been licensed in Japan, Thailand, Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Portugal and the UK. In 2008, Karin's erotic romance JADED (Simon & Schuster) won the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Erotic Romance Suspense. In 2011, her erotic lycan romance BLOOD LAW (Berkley Heat) won the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice award for Best Erotic Fiction and was the first book in her Blood Moon Rising series. In 2012, the second book in the trilogy, BLOODRIGHT, was nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Erotic Paranormal Romance. Karin's other awards include a CAPA and the Holt Medallion, as well as a finalist nod for the Prism. Her debut single title, GOOD GIRL GONE BAD (Simon & Schuster), was featured in the October 2006 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Karin's most rewarding award, however, was not bestowed for her storytelling skills but for her mentorship of unpublished writers. She was honored to receive RWA's (Romance Writers of America) Pro Mentor of the Year award in 2008. She has served as president of her local RWA chapter in San Francisco and as Director-at-Large on the RWA National Board of Directors. Karin has been married to her own hot cop-now licensed Private Investigator-for over thirty years and she writes what she knows. She has also started and sold several profitable businesses, but her true love is writing passionate love stories. When she isn't writing, Karin loves to travel and does so extensively, meeting readers and sharing her knowledge via workshops at writer conventions and conferences.
