Hello Readers!
I’m a Seattle writer, a mother, a wife, a messy housekeeper, a dog lover, a full time worker at Macy’s and a voracious reader. I love reviews (if they are 5 star, especially) and if you read my books, I’d love a review. I try to answer my reviewers to say thanks at this point in my humble career.
Some things you might find interesting about me pertaining to The Dream Jumper’s Promise are:
1. I used to teach scuba on Maui
2. I almost died on a cave dive once
3. I took Steven Tyler snorkeling with his family
4. I sang in the hotels at night
5. I had a stalker who was bound to a wheelchair
6. I had a pit mix named Brindle
7. I never walked around town in my bikini like Tina. 
And some things pertaining to Necessary Detour are:
1. As a singer I opened a Jay Leno show once at the Maui Hyatt 2. I saw myself sing on a jumbotron and it was weird to have your face that big. 3. I warmed up Maya Angelou’s key note address audience with my band 4. I trailer and drive a ski boat 5. Pete looks like Sawyer on Lost 6. Goldy looks like Fergie 7. This novel was originally titled Goldy and the Bayers
Enjoy the books! I had a blast writing them, being on Maui every day for a year and being on a picturesque lake for two years. Thanks for reading! Kim

There is a certain indignity to ‘About the Author’ sections. All of the self-published authors on this platform fill this out, and 98% of us probably write a third person laundry list of accomplishments. These paragraphs read like a list of assets, or some filled out form for a loan, lease or land contract. ‘Lives in,’ ‘works as a,’ ‘hopes to be.’ The blank white boxes with blinking cursors that demand information from all who publish seemed daunting, demonic and demanding at the same time.
Moments ago I did one of these and I am proud to say that I spared you from coming in contact with such drivel. Lets suffice it to say that I am not adept in crafting third person praise directed at myself. I despise third person more than I hate writing in present tense, and that my friends is saying something.
I wrote this book during mornings. It was typed into a taped together Jalopy of a computer, a device that is holding on for dear life by balancing binary code and hope. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope you will have fun reading it. If the book sells I will use the proceeds, God willing, to buy a new computer.

Sometimes, Love is Murder
English magazine journalist, Sam Munro, is in Montana interviewing classic car collector, Doug Bamber, for an article when, to his horror, he discovers that his hotel is haunted, the paranormal activity terrifying him, and the disruptive and restless ghost pursuing Sam wherever he goes.
To Sam’s astonishment, he also learns through Doug that a murder committed seven years earlier is directly linked to his tormented youth, catapulting him into a maelstrom of terror and vengeance when retired Chicago homicide detective turned PI, Gunther Parkinson, asks Sam to assist with his investigation. As he uncovers a horrific trail of violence and deception, Sam discovers that he has trusted the wrong person, and he could be the killer’s next victim…

The People in the Mirror
Posted on Jan 9, 2013 in Expired Deals
Culture shock. That’s what Nikki experiences when her father is transferred from Laguna Beach to Seattle. Gazing up in the gray drizzle at the gargoyles on the apartment building that is her new home, she tells herself that life as she knows it is over, that boredom is all she can hope to look forward to.
But that was before she saw the people in the mirror and before she met the gorgeous young man next door….
________
From THE PEOPLE IN THE MIRROR:
“Watch your footing.” Mitch turned on a flashlight and pointed it at the ground. I followed him when, suddenly, he disappeared into the ground. I backed away.
“Come on,” he urged.
“Where are you?”
“There’s steps.” He pointed the flashlight up steps where he’d disappeared. “Do you see them?”
“Just barely. Why are there steps into the earth?” I made a great leap of trust as I cautiously took the first step down. It seemed fairly solid. I took the next three steps, then turned around and looked up. A few stars peeked through the buttermilk clouds that nearly covered the night sky. I took another step down, and the sky disappeared behind the ceiling of earth.
“Where is this?” I looked around – what I could make out in the glow of Mitch’s flashlight were walls, a sidewalk, an ancient billboard.
“It’s a part of Seattle’s underground city. It’s cut off from the section that’s on the tour.”
“How did you find out about it?”
“After I went on the underground city tour with my dad years ago, I never could stop thinking about it. I knew there had to be more. A librarian dug out an old city map for me, and I figured out where it was likely there’d be more of the underground city. I kept poking around until I found a gigantic rabbit hole and I took it from there.” He studied me for a moment. “Are you going to come the rest of the way down, or stay perched up there?”
“I’m coming down.” I continued on down the steps and onto the wooden planks of the underground sidewalk. “It’s so amazing!” I felt again a bit nervous about his brilliance and maturity. How could I possibly be interesting and intelligent enough for him?
Mitch trained the flashlight on the billboard. “Millie’s Millinery,” it said over a faint sepia drawing of a Victorian woman wearing a huge, billowing hat. Curiously, she appeared to be looking right up the stairs at the night stars.
“She’s beautiful,” I whispered.
“Isn’t she?” We stood reverently contemplating Miss Millie from a bygone era for a few moments, then Mitch took my hand and we silently headed down the sidewalk. We came to a house and climbed the steps to the porch, then he led me through the front door into the house.
“All that’s left of the house is this foyer and the living room, but isn’t the woodwork fabulous?”
I peered around at the scrollwork of the dark wooden Victorian doorways, archways and window moldings, the scent of wood and earth mingling into a musty, lonely aroma. “Yes. Beautiful.”
“Should we sit on the porch?”
“Okay.” The heavy presence of that other time in this undisturbed place stole into me. I felt like I wasn’t exactly myself. A bit dazed and overwhelmed, I followed Mitch back onto the porch and sat on the steps.
“If you stay awhile with the flashlight turned off, your eyes adjust and you can make things out surprisingly clearly. There’s some phosphorescence in the walls that adds a hazy light. You begin to feel what it was like to have lived here. The city takes on a kind of life, like in a dream….”
9111 Sharp Road (Orchard Hills)
Posted on Jan 8, 2013 in Expired Deals
Amanda’s world is turned upside down when her father dies and she, her sister, Lori, and her mother have to move in with her eccentric gramma. The house is old and strange, and the entire town is a grave yard. Not the most pleasant place for an 11-year-old girl to spend her last years of innocence. But even worse are the strange creatures resembling humanoid bats that lurk through the night and peer in through her bedroom window while she sleeps and the ghosts pleading to be released from behind a mysterious door.
