Kimberly lives in a rural village near Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, two daughters, and a cat. She enjoys making money by reading books. Every now and then she even reads one just for fun. She is also a foster and adoptive mom, and was herself adopted at birth. “Scenes from the Broken Road,” a series of vignettes recounting the adoption of her first daughter, was published in A Cup of Comfort for Adoptive Families in 2009. She often shares her experiences with adoption as well as writing if you wish to follow her on Twitter, Facebook, or at her blog, kimberlycreates. She does not enjoy talking about herself in the third person, but tries to keep a sense of humor about it.
