Kimberly Killion

Kimberly Killion found her love for all things tragic, passionate, and historic after taking a mythology course in college. The book wasn't Romeo and Juliet, as you might suspect, but Dante's Inferno, Oedipus, The Iliad, and a few other Greek tragedies. An artist by profession, she traded her paintbrush for a pen, and began to explore the realm of romance. In addition to writing Medieval romance, she teaches graphic design part-time in St. Louis where she brings her passion for words and the arts into the grueling boredom of lecture.

Kimberly has won numerous awards for her writing. She is married to her high school sweetheart and lives in Illinois with two children, a dog, three cats, and two dozen chickens.
