Whether it was sneaking her laptop into class or procrastinating her math homework to write her newest story idea, Kimberly has always loved storytelling. Her absolute favorites include dynamic characters, complex plots full of twists and turns along with hints of controversy, romance, and meaningful messages. Kimberly is also a former English teacher, editor at Austur Literary Magazine, young adult mentor, passionate dreamer, and professional sass machine.

When she’s not writing (or reading), Kimberly is practicing photorealism, binge-watching anime with her five boys and hubby, and baking some sort of delicious goodness. Join her on Instagram @gutsybooks for more adventures and thrilling reads.
