Kimberly Nixon

Five things to know about me:

1. I am passionate about the family story and have been blessed with a plethora of juicy ones.

2. I love forest bathing. Give me a hike or a good book and we'll be friends for life.

3. True story: my family lived off the land when I was growing up. We had an apple orchard, a huge garden, cherry trees, pear trees, strawberry fields. We'd trade produce for eggs and milk with the farmer down the street. I'd say my Dad was the original organic farmer.

4. My mother took us to the library every week when I was young and I walked out of there with more books than I could carry. I won a first-grade county writing contest and still have the ribbon.

5. I read a book a week even when I have a heavy writing schedule. I can't

An avid reader since I was a child, I have always been drawn to a good story well told. I loved being able to explore other worlds and live other lives through these stories. So, I began writing as a means to give my imagination a home upon the page. For me, well-written fiction has the power to teach and transport, and that’s what I aspire to do every time I sit down to create a new character, setting or story.

My novels Let the Willows Weep and Daughter of the Mountain examine the struggles, complexity, and resilience that define many lives in the rural American South. With a focus on female characters, I'm driven to share stories that reveal the strength women display when forced to rise above limited opportunities, economic injustice, a

Jean Hackensmith

I am the published author of 12 books, all in the romance genre; everything from time travel, to historical, to contemporary. My newest release, "Checkmate" is the start of my break from the romance genre. It's still classified as a romantic thriller, but truthfully it's more thriller than romance. I'm not saying I won't ever write another romance, especially time travel. I'd have too many upset readers if I didn't. But, for now, I just needed try something new. In fact, my current manuscript, titled "We The People" takes me completely out of the romance genre. But more about that later.

As far as personal info goes, I'm married to my best friend and biggest supporter, Ron. I'm the proud mother of 3, the stepmother of 2, and the grandmother
