Kim was an educator for more than thirty years when she decided that writing a children’s fantasy book should be added to her bucket list. Currently, due to pandemic conditions, she is semi-retired from teaching. She misses her Pre-Kindergarten children who brought their own special blend of magic and youthful enthusiasm into her life on a daily basis. She spends much of her time passionately researching and scrapbooking the generations within her family. “It is my hope that my grandchildren, Christopher and Amberlee, will grow up with an understanding of who they are and where they’ve come from plus have a sense of family history that links each generation together.” She has also had plenty of time to think about writing more books! She resides in State College, Pennsylvania with her husband, Terry, and their Pomeranian, Loki.

They gather around her and decide to reward her for her kindheartedness and caring nature. All it takes is a little bit of magic and a sprinkle of pixie dust sparkling in the moonlit forest…
