Q&A with KIMBERLY
KILLION
Q: What song do you put on when you’re driving in your car?
A: Currently, I’m totally addicted to the Musical Blades CD, Full Frontal
Piracy. That’s right “Pirate Music”. Imagine getting songs
stuck in your head like: Tiggo Bitty, Castrating Katy, Captain Curse. My 14
year old daughter will soon die of mortification.
Q: What is your favorite Classic TV Show?
A: The Brady Bunch. Peter. Need I say more.
Q: What is your favorite current TV Show?
A: The Mentalist. Patrick Jane is so HOT and oddly funny in a bizarre sort
of way.
Q: Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes?
A: The plaid pumps that I will be wearing to the Gala in DC. I found them on
clearance and snatched them up because they perfectly match the Royal Stewart
plaid accenting my gown.
Q: What is the worst job you ever had?
A: Steak n Shake when I was 1Q: *shiver*
Q: What is the best job you ever had?
A: I know everyone expects me to say writing, and while I enjoy that, I also
love my “other” job. I teach graphic design at a college in St.
Louis and get to interact with a generation a “few” years younger
than myself. They keep me young.
I write because…. I get to kill people and not go to prison. I get to be
skinny and beautiful with long luscious locks, and I get to have lots of hot
sex with men other than my husband.

Okay, I can do young, beautiful, and skinny with long luscious locks–in my books. *sigh*
Wish the new one was out in time for DC. Of course, if I’m reading, I’m not writing so, perhaps, it’s just as well.
Looking forward to seeing you!
PS Being a shoe slut, you have to show me those puppies. They sound fabulous!

Okay first of all Kim, I LOVE Patrick Jane all the way down to his worn leather shoes! His eyes are just mesmerizing, and the way he smiles…sigh…lol I keep thinking him and Brisbin will get together one of these days.
LOL about the pirate music! Do you blare it when you drop her off with friends? I would just to get a laugh out of it.
As a shoe horse myself, I might steal those plaid shoes of yours! They sound awesome!
Cheers!

Yeah…I’ll be the one half crippled because of those damn shoes. I’m hoping to pay someone to break them in a little better for me. LOL

Eliza,
Patrick Jane is the poo! I love his smirks, his sick and twisted humor and the fact that NOTHING bothers him. Plus, I love that he loves his dead wife…I could do an entire blog post on Patrick Jane…hmmm…maybe I will.

Vanessa,
All I can say is “me too”. The material just came in from Scotland and is with a friend for tailoring. I do hope she gets a move on soon…

Hey Kimberly! Welcome, so glad you and the other authors could join us today. It is a sizzling summer with all these great books.
So interesting that you teach graphic design – how do you feel when you get the cover flats for your books? Do you wish you could design them?

Funny thing on those cover designs…I did make the mistake of reworking my first one and sent it to my editor. All I wanted was a wee lil castle in the background. Well, i got my hand slapped really hard. It was the longest email I’d ever gotten from her. LOL
But I worked past it…

Hey Kimberly,
I’ve heard people talk about The Mentalist, but never saw it. Guess I gotta try to check it out.
Congratulations on your Rita (R) award, and here’s to a long future of amazing books!

Hi Kimberly,
I love “The Mentalist,” too. I love it when he hypnotizes suspects and Lisbon scolds him for it.
