Essays, poetry, and fiction driven by the lovely mess of being human.
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.
Books
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 consent refuse to stay simple.
Wishful Preaching—Things I Wish I’d Said from the Pulpit
An ebook of sermons. I spent 15 years as an ordained minister and then left in a blaze of drug addiction. Here is a small collection of sermons that I wish I had preached.
This is a delightful little ebook.
Wait! There’s More.
Come Along
Twice a week, I publish essays, poetry, fiction, and the occasional thing that refuses categorization.
If that sounds like your kind of mess, you’re welcome to read alone. You’ll find these pieces on my Substack or in your inbox, is 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.
