Karen Anna Vogel is dusting off book outlines written thirty years ago when she was running after her four preschoolers. Having empty nest syndrome, she delved into writing.
Many books and novellas later, she's passionate about portraying the Amish and small town life in a realistic way. Being a "Trusted English Friend" to Amish in rural Western Pennsylvania and New York, she writes what she's experienced, many novels based on true stories.
She's a graduate of Seton Hill University, majoring in Psychology & Elementary Education, and Andersonville Theological Seminary with a Masters in Biblical Counseling. Karen's a yarn hoarder not in therapy, knitting or crocheting something at all times. This passion leaks into her books along with hobby farming and her love of dogs.
Karen is grateful to be blessed with a wonderful husband as they celebrate 39 years of marriage. (She thinks Tim deserves a medal;) She's also thrilled that her four grown kids all live within a half-hour drive so she can spoil her grandkids on a regular basis.

"Karen writes with heart-touching insight and her characters are gripping. Highly recommended."Jennifer Hudson Taylor, author of Highland Blessings & Highland Sanctuary
"Karen Anne Vogel has written an enjoyable novel (the start of a series), with “Amish Knitting Circle: Smicksburg Tales 1”. Granny and Jeb are the center around which all the other characters rotate. She is strong willed with a giant heart and he is her ballast. The folks in their Gmay are colorful, well drawn and full of life, love and troubles needing “soulutions” (not a typo) 😉 The prose is nicely descriptive and provides a good feeling of place in western PA."
