Featured Interview With Kim Hornsby
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I now live in the Seattle area in Microsoft country, in a house overlooking a lake. I’m originally from a small town near Toronto, Canada, but in the last 40 years since I left, I lived in Vancouver, B.C., Maui, Whistler, Taiwan and now Seattle.
I have a college-aged boy who plays Division 2 soccer, a 13 year old daughter who loves all things Japanese and two very disobedient bully-breed dogs. My husband is a real estate agent, a cancer survivor and the funniest guy I’ve ever met. Life is disorganized and messy but fun!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’m a big reader and it wasn’t until I went to Taiwan to adopt a baby girl and started to write weekly (newsy) emails at the age of 45, that I thought of writing a novel. Originally, it was supposed to be a book about our adoption experience but I turned it into fiction and realized that is what I love to write. Twelve years later, I write fiction with Romantic and Supernatural Suspenseful elements and will be releasing the novel about a woman who adopts a baby from Taiwan in 2016.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love to read Elin Hilderbrand for her Nantucket rambling stories about real women who have real problems. Also, I’ve devoured Liane Moriarty lately, love the writing of Carol Cassella, Lolly Winston, Elizabeth Banks, Audrey Niffenegger, Marian Keyes, Anita Shreve, Phillipa Gregory, Jodi Piccoult and loads of up and coming authors like Alexa Grace, Toby Neal, Ann Charles, and many romance authors. I switch up my reads and it usually looks like this: Romance, Women’s Fiction, Cozy Mystery, Suspense, Historical Romance, Women’s Fiction, Romantic Suspense. Repeat
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I recently published my Dream Jumper Series as a set of three books for only $4.99. They are all full-length novels of 90,000 words and by the time you finish the third, I’m told, you want to invite everyone in the book for the weekend.
The series follows a man who can enter dreams and finds himself back in the life of his true love to solve the mysterious disappearance of her husband. Bonus-the first book is set on Maui with palm trees, sharks, hula and loads of twists and surprises. This book won best paranormal mystery/thriller with Chanticleer Reviews and has over 250 reviews on Amazon at 4.6 stars.
Do you dream at night? Believe in intuition? How about true love? You’ll like this series. I ended up loving Tina and Jamey like extended family at the end of the third book.
