Karen Pierce

'Queen of
Folklore'
Family heroes, tasty food lore and other treasured folktale motifs (themes) are the topics of book produced by Folkheart Press. Through e-books as well as paperbacks this independent book publisher celebrates the art of folktales.
Established in 2007, the press’ publishing credits include e-books, such as Family Folktales: What Are Yours? by award winning writer Karen Pierce Gonzalez and Spanish Cuisine One Region at a Time: Catalonia by Barcelona chef Eduardo Balaguer. This fall the press will launch the revised 100-page workbook Family Folktales: Write Your Own Family Stories for writers of all ages and levels of experience who want to preserve special memories. Future publications include Folktales You Can Eat and a collection of Original Jewish Folktales.
“Our books encourage people to discover their own folktales as well as read about the folktales others have captured,” said Publisher Karen Pierce Gonzalez.
Pierce Gonzalez founded the press after facilitating numerous writing workshops where she introduced folktale motifs (themes) to writers interested in preserving family stories just as their hearts recalled them.
