Member Since
September 2017


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 and 5 year old daughter. When she isn't reading or writing, she plays PC games, makes jewelry and builds cars.

Both of those are excellent as inopportune times to write down ideas. They surely come when I least expect. (less)

Release Date Changes

The current pre-orders for Second Sight and Get Your Vamp On will be delayed soon. I haven't decided when these will be published.

My family has suffered two losses in a week. We have two funerals and need time to mourn those we've lost.

I'll update these books as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes.

Quotes by Kimbra Swain  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Fairy tales are things that humans tell, because they need to escape the harsh reality that this world is nothing but a distance between birth and death. Even for us. It’s just a matter of time.”
Kimbra Swain, Bright-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed

“Gloriana, being royal isn’t about the wealth you possess, the crown on your head, the fine clothes you wear, or the castle you live in. It’s about the loyalty in your heart for your people, the knowledge in your head to aid them in times of trouble, and the depth of your soul to weather any storm.”

Kimbra Swain. Fairy Tales Of A Trailer Park Queen: Boxset (Kindle Locations 3327-3329). Crimson Sun Press.”
Kimbra Swain, Bless Your Heart

“There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Arrogance is confidence pushed down people’s throats. Confidence is a beacon that they all want to follow, emulating your example.”
Kimbra Swain, Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen, Books 1-3 Box Set
