Beverley: Which genre or genres do you write or prefer to write?
And why?
Kim: I write suspense and adventure fiction. I love
stories that allow me to incorporate action, adventure, romance, exotic
locations, and happily-ever-after endings. In the real world the good guys
don’t always win, but in my stories they do. However, in my Risky Research
Series the wins in each story will be smaller, rather than unequivocally
complete, until I decide to end the series for good since my protagonist and
some of the antagonists are recurring characters.
Beverley: Who influenced you the most in deciding
to become a writer?
Kim: I had a high school creative writing
teacher who commented on one of my stories that with more character development
I was well on my way to a novel. I always enjoyed writing, but her comment and
encouragement made me think that I could actually construct a novel.
Beverley: What gets
your creative juices flowing?
Kim: I love to
travel, which always inspires me with ideas for new stories, locations, or
characters.
Beverley: Do you have a
favorite cartoon character? Why?
Kim: Growing up my
favorite cartoon was Scooby Doo. I guess I’ve always loved a good mystery and a
little suspense.
Beverley: Who would you
love most to meet 'in person' and why?
Kim: A couple years
ago I was able to meet one of my two favorite writer, James Rollins. It was
pretty exciting. I had hoped for an opportunity to meet my other favorite
author, Clive Cussler. Unfortunately, he passed away last winter before I had
an opportunity, but I did get to visit his classic car museum in Colorado which
contained many of the cars from his novels.
Beverley: If you had an
unexpected free day what would you do with it?
Kim: Whenever I
have an unexpected free day I love to go out and try to discover a new site close
to home that I had previously overlooked. I’ve been surprised in the past year
to find many interesting places that I didn’t realize existed so close to home.
Beverley: What are you
working on now?
Kim: I just
released the fourth installment in the Risky Research Series, A Measure of
Madness, and I’m currently working on the fifth, and likely final, installment
in the series, A Recipe for Revenge. Here’s a bit more about my new release, A
Measure of Madness.
Blurb for A Measure of Madness
FBI agent Devyn
Nash's pursuit of a deadly organization heats up in this fourth installment of
the Risky Research series.
The FBI locates the mastermind behind Coterie,
but attempts to bring him in result in a shootout that sends Coterie’s members
scrambling for cover. When Devyn’s partner is left fighting for his life
in a Puerto Rican hospital, she becomes more determined than ever to bring
them to justice.
Devyn’s decision to ignore her orders and pursue
the head of Coterie to Brazil puts her job and her relationship with Sheriff
Gage Harris in jeopardy, but she is unwilling to allow those responsible for so
much death to live out their lives in paradise.
Excerpt from A Measure of Madness
Devyn smeared butter on her pancakes and poured an
ample portion of blueberry syrup over the large stack. She supposed Nick had a
point about her eating habits, but that was far down on her list of worries at
the moment. Between drug lords, arms dealers, and Coterie, she had a difficult
time mustering up any fear of butter.
Her number one priority was shutting down Coterie.
A close second was figuring out what to do about Gage. She wanted Gage to be
first, but if she was being honest with herself, he couldn’t be until she
brought Coterie to justice. Too many people had already died and the trail of
destruction would likely continue as long as any members were out there. For
now, she had to keep her head in the game. One misstep could be deadly.
