Karen Wills

Karen Wills lives with her husband just a few miles from her beloved Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana. She spends her time writing, hiking, reading, and visiting with family and friends. She is also an active volunteer for social justice. Karen has practiced law representing plaintiffs in civil rights and other cases. She also taught English and writing on college and secondary public school levels, including on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, and in the Inupiaq Eskimo village of Wales, Alaska. She’s encountered bears, both grizzly and polar, and still believes passionately in the value of wild creatures and country. Her first novel, Remarkable Silence, was inspired by the need now, as never before, for religious tolerance. Her second novel, River with No Bridge, reflects her admiration for those immigrants who defied poverty and prejudice and settled on the great frontier of the wilderness near what is now Glacier National Park. Her third novel, All Too Human, is the interwoven story of two women a generation apart, but each strong and forging a place for women in early Montana where few thought of controlling their own lives. It has elements of mystery, passion, revenge, and the power of nature in an untamed place.
