Karen Quinn is one of Kentucky’s newest authors.  Karen has published several poems and stories featuring the folklore, customs  and happenings of the small, East Kentucky coal-camp community,  in which she was reared.

Karen’s unique book, “Tales from the Hills and Hollers of Eastern Kentucky,” is a treasure chest of heart-warming nuggets from the lives of a fictitious people and place of yesteryear, when mountain living necessitated a populace with a head full of common sense,  a strong constitution and  quintessential wit for quick humor.
