New Publishing House
All of Kara D. Wilson's books are now housed under Rowan Publishing.
The rowan tree has long been known for its mythological and folkloric properties. Pagan tradition marks rowan trees (of all varieties) as portals to other worlds, acting as the boundary between the mundane and supernatural or fantastic realities. The symbol of the rowan tree acts as a beautiful analogy of what Kara hopes to achieve through each of her books. Be sure to look out for the new Rowan Publishing mark on her books! |

Understanding New Adult Fiction
New Adult Fiction is a relatively new genre of fiction (c. 2009) that has been met with some criticism. It is essentially fiction meant for a slightly older audience than that of Young Adult Fiction. In it, protagonists are usually older teenagers (17 to 19) and college-aged young adults.
Additionally, because the books are intended for an older audience, explicit content becomes acceptable. Such matter includes vulgar language, some sexual content, and slightly graphic violence.
Because Kara doesn't dedicate full books to romance or to brutal warfare - although such scenes do appear - graphic depictions of sexual acts or overly descriptive violence do not occur. She is always cognizant of her readers and strives to provide them with enough detail to build a rapport with characters without being explicitly vulgar.

Praise & Reviews
"The author’s storytelling skills are large, and you find yourself trusting her style and instincts. Even while sending the characters on enough new adventures to fill five different novels, she manages to engage the reader’s interest at every turn; the developing plot always defines the characters’ feelings and conflicts superbly. I found myself continually unable to anticipate where the plot might go next, but once an unexpected development occurred, I said, yes, of course it had to be this way …" - Michael S.

"Even being a new author, Kara Wilson brings her world and characters to life very well. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good story, powers, animals, fight scenes, and kingdoms warring with each other." - Dakota
"Kara Wilson has a wonderful knack for details that make this fantasy story seem real throughout the novel. She is able to keep her fantastical storyline without losing track that these people are also just that, people. The story and its characters (both the main and side characters) are very interesting and you genuinely want them all to succeed and you will root for them throughout their journeys." - Krilligan "After 10 hours of reading, I felt pleased and satisfied like I'd been on a wonderful vacation. Good Book from teenagers to adult. Excellent movie material!...Most acclaimed fiction does not interest me enough to give up other things to read it. Neither do I watch a lot of TV or movies. Your book gave me a delightful journey. Thank you!" - Sharyn B. |
"I was hooked from the beginning. It evoked the entire spectrum of emotions from me. I laughed, cried, became frustrated, all of it! PLUS, it kept me guessing the whole time. I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next and where each character's story was going." - Rachel
"Rhys of Earth is the first of a three-book series by Kara Wilson. Great plot, good story telling, and imaginative writing. Can't wait for the sequel later this year." - Anonymous "I liked the story line...it kept me interested and wanting to see what happens next. A good book for young adults." - Bill R. "Kara Wilson did an outstanding job pulling you into this story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories such as "Twlight" or "Harry Potter". She doesn't disappoint you in the end either!" - RL |
