When Kimberley was a kid she read a book a day, scribbled stories, and dreamed about having her very own book on the library shelf. After growing up in San Francisco, she now lives in an adobe house on the banks of the Rio Grande with her big, messy family.
Kimberley once stayed in the haunted tower room at Borthwick Castle in Scotland and didn't sleep a wink, sailed the Seine in Paris, rode a camel in the ancient world wonder of Petra, shopped the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, and spent the night in an old Communist hotel in Bulgaria. She adores anything old and musty with a secret story to tell.
The author of 10 award-winning middle-grade and Young Adult novels with Scholastic and Harpercollins, Kimberley makes way too many cookies when she's writing - and the best book trailers in the universe.

Top Ten List:
Things I love & fun facts:
1. I adore chocolate frosted cinnamon
roll donuts
2. Snuggling with my kiddos and a
stack of books
3. My Princess Aurora (Sleeping
Beauty) blanket that my daughter made me for Christmas
4. I love to belly dancing—and even
performed a couple of times! It’s great exercise and so beautiful and earthy.
5. I’m a purple girl! And I’m lucky
because my birthstone is amethyst
6. The black & white original TV
show, I Love Lucy still makes me
laugh—even though I only ever saw it in re-runs, of course!
7. Since I was five-years-old, my
grandpa would give me a heart-shaped box of chocolates on my birthday—which is
also Valentine’s Day. When I got married, my husband got instructions from my
family to continue the tradition, including baking me a heart-shaped cake with
the cake pans my mother gifted to him.
8. Two days after my 11th birthday,
I fell off a broken clothes hamper, gashed up my leg, and was rushed to the
hospital to get 60 stitches.
9. Three years ago I rode a camel in
the ancient world wonder of Petra, Jordan.
10. I have a wall carving in my
house of King Tut and his Queen Ankhesenamen that’s a replica of his actual
Pharaoh’s Throne found in his tomb.
