Kim Kielley

Kim Kielley, a journalist and author, discovered her Muse in a crowded bar on the craggy shores of Lake Nipissing. A strategic toe-crunch and heartfelt apology changed Kim’s future forever. Sheepishly, she followed his blue eyes and blonde hair to the four corners of the earth – and to Newfoundland. Business partner, executive assistant by day, freelance writer/super-woman by night, Kim does her best writing/thinking between the hypnotic snores of her 80-pound black Lab, the whine of her Muse’s sleep apnea machine and the gentle grunts of her snoozing offspring.
