WELCOME

What a long, strange trip it's been.  I've been publishing novels for over fifteen years now.  First I wrote historical fiction under my real name, Karen Mercury.  Then Karen branched out into erotic romance with Siren Publishing.

Layla Wolfe was born out of an insane desire to describe the lives of some of the people I grew up with—the gritty, unwanted, unloved, resourceful, independent folks I associated with, men as well as women.  It was a rough and tumble life for some of us, living hand to mouth.  I used to sleep in people's cars, waking and running when they opened the door to go to work.  After smoking their cigarettes, of course.

So I figured, why not flesh out these larger-than-life characters?  I've been blessed with amazing readers who "get" my unusual combo of angst, tragedy, and comedy.
