Karen Inglis is children's author living in London in the UK. She's been writing ever since she was little and still has a box of her daily diaries hidden in a cupboard.

Karen is a big dreamer and thinker and loves taking young readers into worlds where literally anything can happen... like magical time tunnels that take you to meet children in the past, or soccer-mad aliens zooming down from space to hide in your bedroom and watch the World Cup, or library books that suck you down into the story, or magic hats and talking cats. She also writes in rhyme about Ferdinand Fox - a kind town fox that she once met...

Karen loves going into schools and meeting her fans - she also does Skype visits to schools abroad :) Check out her website below if you're interested to find out more.

Almost 7,000 children have now enjoyed Tom and Stella's magical adventure in Karen's time travel adventure The Secret Lake - we hope you are or will become one of them!
