Earlier in her career, she worked as a sports journalist for the Los Angeles Times before transitioning to the Los Angeles Daily News. Her debut novel, "Missy's Murder" (1991), was inspired by a homicide case she reported on in Los Angeles. With the formation of Karen Kingsbury Productions in June 2022, Kingsbury and her team filmed their first theatrical feature, "Someone Like You." Her Baxter Family books were developed into a TV series, "The Baxters." Kingsbury is also an adjunct professor of writing at Liberty University.
