Karen Dionne’s award-winning novels set in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula wilderness have been translated into dozens of languages and landed on bestseller lists around the world. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly calls The Wicked Sister “A devastating, magic realism–dusted psychological thriller... Dionne paints a haunting portrait of a family hurtling toward the tragic destiny they can foresee but are powerless to stop,” selecting it as one of the best books of the year. She comes by her knowledge of the U.P. wilderness by dint of her having built and lived in a cabin off-the-grid near St. Ignace for three years with her husband and infant daughter.
Karen has been active in the writing community for over twenty years. She co-founded the online writers community Backspace, organized the Backspace Writers Conferences in New York and the Salt Cay, Bahamas Writers Retreat, and served on the board of directors of the International Thriller Writers.
Her previous book, The Marsh King’s Daughter, was named a 2018 Michigan Notable Book, took home the Barry and the Crimson Scribe Awards for Best Novel, The Marsh King's Daughter will soon be released as a movie starring Daisey Ridley ("The Force Awakens") and Ben Mendelsohn.
