Kim’s writing has appeared online at The Manifest-Station and The Rumpus. Frosty Mauve is an excerpt from her work in progress, a memoir, currently titled Yearning Settled Her.
From 2008-2011 she was a senior writer and editor for Ecosalon, one of the first ‘green’ lifestyle blogs. It was her first paid writing gig. (Find her portfolio of Ecosalon articles over here.) At the suggestion of a friend, she enrolled in a memoir-writing class at a local community college. She hasn’t looked back.
