Interviewing Author Kimberley O'Malley

1. Tell me about yourself?

I am a wife, Mom, Soccer Mom, Dog Mom, Psych RN, and writer--not necessarily in that order. I am originally from Scranton, Pa (home of The Office) who now lives in NC. I have lived in 3 states and 2 countries. I would wear flip-flops every day if the weather allowed.

2.What are your favorite books to read?

I love to read contemporary romance and romantic suspense. My favorite books all have a HEA and do not end in a cliffhanger.

3. When did you decide you were going to write a book?

I wrote my first book in 2002. I did not set out to become a writer. My husband and I were in the middle of adopting our daughter from Russia. The wait became torturous. One day, I came home from work and poured out my frustrations into my computer. Coming Home was born. In about 3 weeks, I wrote over 100, 000 words. After many revisions, I finally published COming Home in 2017.

4. How did you come up with the name of your book?

The titles generally come easily for me and often before I have written the book.

5. What are you working on for 2021

I'm not quite sure. I have a new CR series that I just started, so I hope to write one or more books for that. One I have already started. I also hope to write another two books in my Cozy Mystery series.

6. How long have you been writing?

I have been published since 2017 but started writing in 2002.

7.What advice would you give other authors?

Never give up. Write every day, even if it's just a few words. Learn from others and take what works for you.

8. Where can people find you online?

9. What is your favorite coffee drink?

Oddly enough, I do not drink coffee. I do love Hot Chocolate...with the little marshmallows.

10. What is your favorite coffee shop?

See above...I do not like Starbucks, as I find their hot chocolate bitter. I do love Panera and often write there.

11. Do you plan on making a new book in the future?

I have more ideas for books than years left in my life most likely...

12. How many books have you written?

I have published 12 as of this week. I have plans for many more.

13. Did you go to college to be a writer?

I did not. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology. I then went to nursing school at 40.

I am a wife to Charles (47 years), momma to 5 grown children— four of which are married, with 17 grandchildren and another on the way! I enjoy reading and writing and when I have the time, I enjoy quilting and studying all kinds of things! I like learning! My husband and I travel a good deal and plan to visit Alaska, the only state we haven’t been to in our married life! I have a strong faith and believe God has given me the gift of writing for a purpose. It took me a while to realize it, but the perspective of my writing includes writing for children with disabilities—- but not only for the children with the disability, but for the one who asks, ‘What’s wrong with my friend?’ This makes these books unique and a great resource for a classroom as a starting point for conversation.

I write romantic suspense books and live on Lake Murray in beautiful South Carolina with my retired Navy husband, who is my go-to for colorful slang and guy talk.
