Show Notes

On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I chat with award-winning author Kimberly Rose Johnson. Kimberly married her college sweetheart and lives in the Pacific Northwest. From a young child, she’s been an avid reader. That love of reading fostered a creative mind and led to her passion for writing. She especially loves romance and writes contemporary romance that warms the heart and feeds the soul. Kimberly holds a degree in Behavioral Science from Northwest University in Kirkland, Wash., and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers.

“The more I write, the more I get to know my characters,” Kimberly said. “As I get to know my characters more, I often will go back and write more things into my story. I also make notes in the margins … to make sure I put everything in.”
