Author Kim Williams-Justesen - Death's Kiss

Kim Williams-Justesen will be with us tonight to discuss her new Novel "DEATH'S KISS"!

Born and raised in Utah, Kim was the kind of kid whose mom had to come in and take the flashlight away so she would go to sleep. She has always been an avid reader and writer. Years of Public Relations work kept her writing at work. Then when her third kid came along, she decided to stay home and try her hand at writing professionally. In 2003, Kim earned her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at the prestigious Vermont College of Fine Arts, and the rest was - as they say - history.

In addition to writing, Kim loves being out of doors, whether it's in her garden picking raspberries, in the mountains camping or snowshoeing, or traveling to her favorite beach in North Carolina. Kim has taught writing and English courses at local colleges, and has presented various workshops on writing. She is the mother of three kids and grandma one grandkid. She has three cats and one dog, and one day she wants to have a pet snake!
