Kimberly Derting

Kimberly is the author of the BODY FINDER series (HarperCollins), THE PLEDGE trilogy (Simon & Schuster), and THE TAKING trilogy (coming April 29th from HarperTeen).

She lives in the Pacific Northwest, the ideal place to write anything dark or creepy…a gloomy day can set the perfect mood. She lives with her husband and their three beautiful (and often mouthy) children who provide an endless source of inspiration.

Random facts about Kimberly:

– I don’t like to have my face touched. Ever.
– I love bubblegum. Not all gum, just bubblegum… big, sticky, sweet wads of it. When I was little I used to save the chewed hunks by my bed at night and resume chewing in the morning. I know… gross.
– I can’t bend over and touch my toes. Not even close.
– I love it when people fall. Or run into things. I’m not sure why this is, I’m probably some kind of simpleton… or I was a Keystone Cop in a past life.
– I love anything dark and twisted, from horror to humor. One of my favorite TV shows is It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (if you haven’t seen it, you’re missing a whole lotta sick fun).
– I don’t eat chocolate. Except that sometimes I do. So that sort of makes me a liar.
– I get paid to lie. I have the best job ever!
