Karen Hyatt-frequent traveler, avid reader, baseball aficionado, and bad golfer-is retired and resides in St. Catharines, Ontario with her husband, Wayne. Secrets, Lies, and Consequences, her second novel, was inspired by ten winters spent at the Royal Decameron Resort in Panama, where Karen and Wayne have made and continue to make many fond memories.

Her debut novel, Uncovering Iris, was published in 2019.
