AN Kim

A N Kim is an Asian-American author, small business owner, a perfectly average gardener, and aspires to someday have a pet emu. She was born in a small midwestern town to an American father and Thai mother, she also spent many summers in her mother’s home village in Thailand, including time in her teenage years going to school in Bangkok, before finally moving to Seattle, Washington. She considered many careers, including a brief period in college when she temporarily forgot she was an introvert that had no patience for customer service and attempted to entertain a future in becoming a flight attendant. Eventually she concluded the only two things she constantly found herself coming back to were writing and her love of animals. Today she spends her days dreaming up new worlds while simultaneously forming her backyard into a personal petting zoo. When not doing either of these two things she can be found wrangling her fearless toddler, hiking near her home in the Pacific Northwest with her dogs, or watching Kdramas with her mostly obliging husband.
