Kimberly VanderHorst
British Columbia, Canada
Chaser of laugh lines.
Bibliophile and wordie.
Depth plumber and self-awareness junkie.
Sardonic, tongue-in-cheek, wannabe comic.
Former shy girl gone wild(ish).
Kimberly grew up sandwiched between the mountains and the sea of British Columbia, Canada.
She wrote her first book when she was seven (it was awesome - but the world totally isn't ready for it yet) and her next when she was twenty-seven. When asked to account for the intervening years she likes to suggest the possibility of alien abduction with as straight a face as possible.
With four little girls at home and a husband who would rather play Lego than just about anything, the VanderHorst household is a constant source of inspiration. Whether it's her daughters making up Lego Alien Mermaid Rock Operas, or her husband Neil making up silly words to favourite songs, there's no end to the awesomeness.
A few months back, Kimberly decided she needs to talk to people other than her family and the voices in her head. So she formed The South Cariboo Writers' Guild for her community, where local authors meet online and in person to share ideas, resources, and support.
