Novels, poetry, and essays driven by the lovely mess of being human.
New Book
The Gift
A supernatural novel about love, grief, identity—and the complicated nature of choosing.
Cam thought he was escaping to the quiet hills of North Carolina. Instead, he found Angela: a woman who seems to know him, has been waiting for him, and carries a past neither of them can escape.
The Gift is a gothic supernatural romance about the strange threads that bind us to one another—and what happens when love, longing, memory, and choice refuse to stay simple.
Welcome
I write from my experience of living—which has been a lot.
Sometimes that becomes an essay. Sometimes a poem. Sometimes a novel about an immortal woman who has been waiting a very long time for someone to come home.
The subjects wander: love and loss, recovery and aging, faith and doubt, desire, memory, joy, absurdity, and whatever else life puts in front of me.
I’m less interested in having answers than in paying attention.
Wait! There’s More.
Weekly writing…
Twice a week, I publish essays, poetry, fiction, and the occasionally something a mix of all of it.
If that sounds like your kind of mess, you’re welcome to read along. You’ll find these pieces on my Substack page or in your inbox, if you like.
About Kim
I’ve lived as a minister, a marketer, a consultant, a husband, a father, a recovering addict, a trail wanderer, and—through all of it—a writer. I’ve spent enough years being alive to know that the interesting parts rarely fit into neat categories.
So I write about what I notice.
