From early in life, Kimbra Swain was indoctrinated in the ways of geekdom. Raised on Star Wars, Tolkien, Superheroes, and Voltron, she found herself immersed in a world of imagination. She started writing in high school and completed her English degree from the University of Alabama in 2003. Her writing is influenced by a gamut of authors including Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien, L.M. Montgomery, Timothy Zahn, Kathy Reichs, Kevin Hearne, and Jim Butcher. Born and raised in Alabama, Kimbra still lives there with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. When she isn't reading or writing, she plays PC games, makes jewelry, and listens to music. Visit www.kimbraswain.com and sign up for Kimbra's newsletter.
