Kim Smart was raised on the edge of the Badlands in western South Dakota, but grew up in Alaska after landing there as a young nurse. Two decades later, she moved to San Diego to attend law school. After graduating, she returned to Alaska to again work in health care, this time at the intersection with law and public service.
Kim has always had a diverse love for writing and reading, enjoying romance, women’s literature, historical fiction, poetry, and stories of people living authentic lives. Following a lifelong dream, Kim has turned to writing. She currently writes romance, women’s fiction, and poetry, along with nonfiction articles for various publications.
When not writing or traveling, Kim enjoys time with her parents and extended family, hiking and creating in the kitchen. She presently lives wherever the wind blows her as she visits her children, grandchildren, parents, and other interesting parts of our world. She has much to write about and many stories to tell!
