Kimberly A Bettes

Kimberly A. Bettes was born on Thanksgiving Day, 1977, completely ruining any chance her mother had at enjoying a delightful dinner. At the age of 12, Kimberly began writing poems, essays, and short stories. At 14, she began her first novel, a project that would take two years and many sleepless nights to complete. Since then, she has written more than ten novels, dozens of short stories, and hundreds of poems and essays.

She currently lurks in the Ozark Mountains of southeast Missouri with her husband and son. It's there she terrorizes the residents of a small town with her twisted tales, most of which focus on the dark side of human nature.

In addition to writing, Kimberly is also a freelance photographer and life-long chocolate enthusiast.

• Losing Myself (Short Story) on Sep. 22, 2011
  
  VERY well-written story! I have to admit, this went in a completely different direction than I thought it was going to go, but not in a disappointing way. It's a great read.
  
• Hunting the Vampire (Short Story) on Sep. 22, 2011
  
  I was expecting a similar ending, but NOT this! Surprising little twist which I LOVED! Morrell is a fabulous story-teller. He doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary details and always gives you that little twist I love so much. Can't wait to read more!
  
• A Letter to Brody on Oct. 13, 2011
  
  As a mother, this has been a fear of mine since the day I discovered I was pregnant. I can't imagine losing my child, though this story gave me a glimpse into the sadness that would become my world if it were ever to happen. Very well-written, this is a heart-touching story. Kimberly A. Bettes, author of The Good Neighbor and Annie's Revenge
  
• Rod and Staff: A Short Story on Oct. 13, 2011
  
  Very moving story about a man struggling to accept things beyond his control. It touched on my inner fears as a parent and couldn't have possibly been written any better. Guthrie is a brilliant writer who knows exactly what to say to evoke the emotions we all try to hide. Kimberly A. Bettes, author of The Good Neighbor and Annie's Revenge
  
• Dead Heart on April 18, 2012
  
  The description for this story grabbed my attention and made me want - no, NEED to know what happened. And it did not disappoint. The story is brilliant, and absolutely perfect. (The premise of those dealing with the deceased being corrupt is one that I can't believe hasn't been written about more.) I loved everything from the dialogue to the characters, and of course the storyline. I was shocked a few times, and pleasantly surprised at the end. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that. But you should do yourself a favor and read this story. Kimberly A. Bettes, author of RAGE and Held

  Fabulous short story! Did NOT see the ending coming. Well written and gripping tale. I'm very much looking forward to reading more works from this author. Keep your eyes on this one, folks. She's a keeper. Kimberly A. Bettes, author of RAGE and HELD
