Karen Mulvahill
Karen Mulvahill holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and completed her Master of Fine Arts degree online during the pandemic. Her poetry, non-fiction and short fiction writings have appeared in a variety of publications, and she writes for the Northern Express. The Lost Woman is her first novel.
She says that since being taught to read by her big sister when she was four, she has devoured books the way other people devour chocolate (a talent she is also skilled at). She lives with her partner and two large orange tabbies in Northport, Michigan, enjoys a variety of outdoor sports and volunteers for local non-profits.
She lives in at the northern tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, along Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan.
Background
“What inspired me, many years ago, to write The Lost Woman was Lynn H. Nicholas’s The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe’s Treasure in the Third Reich and the Second World War. At the time, I thought the story would make a fascinating novel with very little effort. Five years and many versions later, I finally called my book done.
An important influence for the character of Kenneth was James J. Rorimer’s account of his time as a Monuments Man, as well as Robert M. Edsel’s book, The Monuments Men. Kenneth is a composite of these men, and the stories of his discoveries are based on fact.
I went on to read more than thirty books on various aspects of the war and the German occupation of Paris to ensure historical accuracy.”
