How to Find Karen E. Olson's Books and More Information on kareneolson.com

Updated

To find Karen E. Olson's books on kareneolson.com, use the "learn more" links that appear next to each book description, browse the "All Books" section, or follow the links for individual series such as Black Hat Thrillers, Tattoo Shop Mysteries, and Annie Seymour Mysteries. The homepage also includes a short author bio and social follow links for updates.

Starting from the homepage

The site is the official author page for Karen E. Olson. Its homepage is organized around her books rather than a storefront, so the main task is navigating from a featured title to its details or to the full catalog.

Use the "learn more" links

Each featured book description on the homepage ends with a "learn more" link. These are the most direct entry points to a specific title.

  • A Defiant Woman — the latest novel in the Modern Tudor crime series. The description notes that Kate Tudor's marriage to billionaire Hank Tudor "continues to fray when his ex-wife resurfaces in the wake of their daughter's kidnapping."
  • An Inconvenient Wife — the earlier Modern Tudor novel, described as inspired by the Tudor era, in which Kate Parker has just married billionaire Hank Tudor when a headless body is discovered near their summer home.

Selecting "learn more" next to either title takes you to that book's page for further detail.

Browse "All Books"

The "All Books" section is the place to see the full catalog in one view. Use it when you want an overview of everything she has published rather than a single featured title.

Follow series links

The homepage also lists her series by name, each with its own link:

Series What the site says
Modern Tudor mysteries Crime novels inspired by the Tudor era, featuring Kate Tudor/Kate Parker and Hank Tudor
Annie Seymour mysteries One of Olson's mystery series
Tattoo Shop mysteries One of Olson's mystery series
Black Hat thrillers Thriller series; a quoted blurb notes that "the most dangerous paths we travel are wireless"

Following a series link is the fastest way to see which books belong together.
