She grew up in Upper West Side, New York and studied creative writing at Binghamton University and now lives in Candor in upstate New York.

How she started writing her first novel, The Tree Tattoo, after Rivers dropped out of school and moved back into her parents’ basement. It wasn’t exactly the high point of her life, but she labored away at it for about five years, never thinking anyone would want to publish it. Then when it was done, instead of trying to sell it, Karen Rivers wrote her second novel, Dream Water. Then she sold Dream Water and only THEN did Rivers try to sell her first book. It was all a bit mixed up. Somewhere along the line she signed with an agent and after that she just started writing and writing more and more and more until she was able to quit her crummy job and write full-time, which, as it turns out, was her dream job.
