edit data

Kim found her interest in writing at the young age of nine, when she penned her first stories on three-holed, blue-lined paper. Those handwritten pages, telling of the fictional kingdom called "Anasteria," have been long-lost and forgotten, but the seed was planted and would germinate for some time.

As a teenager, Kim wrote songs, and became involved in the world of music and acting. Later, she dabbled in scripts and directing plays.

In 2015 she self-published Fire Lilies - Out of the Ashes, a non-fiction Christian devotional and bible study for women.

Standalone or not?

I'm curious to hear from readers who did not read Danger Lies Within (The Ranfurly Mysteries #1), but decided to start with Dangling and Dangerous (#2 in the series.) Was it confusing, or do you feel like Dangling and Dangerous is easy to follow without reading Book #1? Also, for the same readers, did reading book #2 compel you to read book #1? I appreciate the feedback!

K.M.
