Kimberly “Kimba” Dalferes is a native Floridian, but currently pretends to be a Virginian. She is an accomplished king salmon slayer, estate sale junkie, and sometimes writes books. Her first book, "I Was In Love With a Short Man Once", was published in 2011, with a 2nd edition released in 2015. Her second book, "Magic Fishing Panties", was released through Mill Park Publishing in 2016.

Dalfere' stories have been featured in diverse publications including "Voices from Smith Mountain Lake" (an anthology published in 2013 by the Smith Mountain Arts Council) and "Reflections on Smith Mountain Lake" (also through SMAC in 2016), "Feisty After 45: The Best Blogs of Midlife Women", The Roanoke Times, Southern Writers Magazine, Hippocampus Magazine, The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop, Better After Fifty, BonBon Break, Vibrant Nation, and Midlife Boulevard. She is also a columnist–her humor column Dock Tale Hour appears regularly in Laker Magazine (an affiliate of Times-World LLC).

The author happily serves on the Board of Governors for the Virginia Writers Club (VWC). She has also been recognized for her nonfiction writing as the winner of the 2014 Golden Nib Award - VWC’s highest honor.

Dalferes divides her time between Fairfax and Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia with husband Greg, Bonz the cat, and occasionally her son Jimmy, when he is home from college. She is also often found hanging out in The Middle-Aged Cheap Seats–her blog. Find her at http://www.kimdalferes.com
