Karen Dropps

Hello!

I am Karen Dropps. I am an author, historian, lover of crafting and a martial artist. Follow my site to learn about me and my process writing and creating!

To start, I want to highlight a bit about my journey to becoming an author!

During 2020, I was stuck at home teaching history on Zoom at the local community college. I was approached to write a new text book for my Colorado History course. I was reluctant at first but was looking for a challenge so I accepted. From that came my first "Booms and Busts: The Story of Colorado". Though few have read it, I found I enjoyed writing, and a few short years later, I had had enough of teaching and was looking for a new path. I took classes in project management, data analysis, anything I could get my hands on, I just wasn't happy, and looked for a change. I had met a career coach at a conference the year before and decided to reach out and see what I could be doing with my life. The first thing I had to do was list 100 things I love and from that I was able to see that, my passions are creative leaning, and that maybe a career in the arts may be a good fit. I had remembered I had started writing a book about 5 years before, but had never finished it. With a new found energy I got cracking and finished my first novel "My Elbert" which was published this March! It has been a long journey but I am happy and am loving writing. I have two more novels in the works and have many more ideas coming! So check back and learn more!
