Kim writes historical novels that feature fierce and often dangerous women. She writes about the thieves and servants, murderesses and mediums, grifters and frauds – the women with darker stories, tangled lies and hidden motives. 

She is the author of the Amazon bestselling historical thriller AFTER ALICE FELL, and THE COMPANION, lauded by Publisher’s Weekly as “a captivating tale of psychological suspense.” She is also the author of BOWERY GIRL and WILLA Literary Award for Best Young Adult novel, CISSY FUNK. Recipient of a Tucson Festival of Books Literary Award, WILLA Literary Award, and three Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC) grants, she is a member of Historical Novel Society, International Thriller Writers, and Sisters in Crime. Her company Novelitics provides novel coaching, writing workshops, master classes and community to writers from around the US and Canada. 

Outside of writing and teaching, she is a history nerd and gothic novel lover. She lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest and loves the rain. Truly. She is currently working on THE DECEPTION, due out Fall 2022 from Lake Union Publishing.
