About Me

Hello!

My YA paranormal mystery “Ask the Girl” is completed and will be out September 2022. But I would still like to find a critique partner or beta readers to read future work. If interested, please contact me.

A little about me:

I love to read and have read everyday since I could read. I’ve been writing since I was 12 but only seriously began writing when I was thirty. Currently, I teach English as a second language online to children in Europe, China (Asia). I love this job I accidently found because I learn so much about children from around the world and I get to teach them about my corner of the world. I’m an active member of SCBWI. I’ve not been published for my children books –yet!– but I’ve been published for my non-fiction Interior Design writing — (I have a BA in Interior Design, and no please don’t ask for decorating advice because I no longer do this nor like doing this anymore) — articles through websites such as About.com, ehow.com, and Lovetoknow.com. As well as been published in a couple of magazines.

I look forward to meeting you and reading your book! Best, Kim

 

Love to Read

I like it all! My favorite reads are fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, mysteries, thrillers, some romance (particularly rom com) and action/adventure.

I like unusual and unexpected characters and novels that leave me wondering long afterwards.

Hard No's

No mushy, gushy romance like Romeo and Juliet please.

Don’t care for child sexual abuse scene descriptions. I’m okay with reading a story of a character who was abused I just don’t want the details.

No picture books please.

Experience
I've written a lot, I'm actively seeking an agent, I've been traditionally published

First Page

        I believe every person experiences three deaths.

        The first is when the body stops working.

        The second is when you’re sent to your grave.

        The third is in the future when the last person who remembers you dies and speaks your name no more.

        My father has died twice but still lives on in my heart. But this doesn’t comfort me.

        I pressed my forehead against the cold glass as I stared out the car window. Trees and buildings whizzed by sending a wave of nausea through my body. I inhaled deeply pushing it back along with deep ache of loss. No more late-night movies. No more corny jokes about how I’m not allowed to date. No more childhood home as the car pulled onward to our new lives in Parkville with my aunt and uncle.

Other Projects

I am working on another YA psychological thriller (just started 1st draft). I have a chapter book I’m very close to finishing. One middle grade fantasy, one sci-fi YA and one YA fantasy – these are at different stages and not sure I will complete them.

Contact this CP
Before you reach out...

Here are some best practices for reaching out to a potential CP:

  • Include the link to your own CP Match profile! You can find it on your Dashboard. Don't have one yet? What are you waiting for? Anyone with a WriteOnCon.org account can make one!
  • Introduce yourself a little, and say what appealed to you about their listing.
  • Respect what's listed here in their profile. They took the time to fill it out, and they've included this information for a reason. Don't send a message about a book they specifically say is a Hard No, for example.
  • Offer to swap a small sample of your works, so you can see if you're really compatible. First chapters are a good starting place.
  • If one party no longer wants to continue the interaction, it's nobody's fault. Sometimes finding the right CP takes time.

Happy writing and CPing!
