Welcome!
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Kimberly Forrest and I am an independently published author of paranormal romance.
I started writing in my early teens; mostly short stories that I would occasionally share with my best friends. Later, I started writing fan-fiction for shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. I wrote my first full length novel with intention to publish in 2002. It was a historical romance that I sent out to every publishing house I could find that accepted the genre and received a stack of rejection letters in return. My work wasn’t “competitive enough” or “not the right fit”… So I set it aside and moved on with my life. When self-publishing became a thing, I decided to go ahead and try it. I published the novel, but because of my busy schedule, I really didn’t have the time, or frankly, the knowledge to properly promote or market the book, so it just sat there. Which brings us to 2016… I had a great idea for a book and my muse wouldn’t leave me alone. I was determined to write it, publish it, and this time, DO something to promote it. I just released the third book in the series and while my sales numbers aren’t huge, I’m not going to give up. I try different things, I learn a little more, I keep writing.
My muse is a nag… seriously, she won’t let me sleep. I have to write.
Currently I write paranormal romance. I have always been fascinated with the genre – books, movies, television shows. I like a dependable hero, a strong (yet still sweet) heroine, and a happily ever after within the shadows of a secret world.
My current goal is for my writing to find its target audience. I want my books in the hands of people who will love reading my work as much as I love writing it.
As for my dream… Well, Best Seller List, of course
