My love of reading began early, cultivated by my grandmother. I cut my teeth on the works of Louis L'Amour. Then my curiosity for other genres blossomed, and I spent any free time I had in the library. The stories took me away from the farm, and the small town I lived in, to a world so vast, that I felt I could achieve anything.

My imagination has always been vivid, and my grandparents encouraged me to write down the stories I regaled them with. I have never felt more alive than when I'm immersed in a new tale, as it takes form.

Kimber Silver and the Soul of Small-Town Mystery: An interview with Jonathan Crain.

"For Kimber Silver, storytelling is less a deliberate pursuit than a magnetic pull. This irresistible force has shaped her life from the moment her grandmother handed her a book by Louis L'Amour..."

“Even in ruin, there is beauty.”
Kimber Silver

“Silence cut him to the quick as it breathed a tale he didn’t want to hear.”
Kimber Silver, Broken Rhodes

“The stars sparkled in an inky sky as they drove through the hot summer night—rhinestones scattered across midnight silk. Out here, a person could almost see forever across the flat expanse of farmland. Wide-open spaces revealed little towns miles away, their lights glinting like rubies and pearls. Kansas held a subtle beauty that only a quiet eye could see.”
Kimber Silver, Broken Rhodes

“Even in ruin, there is beauty.”
Kimber Silver

“Light from an almost full moon bathed the flat expanse of land in a milky glow. A scraggly coyote trotted into sight, and when it stopped a few yards in front of his pickup, Lincoln wrapped his arms around the steering wheel to study the animal.
Seconds after hearing the report, bullets pinged off his pickup.”
Kimber Silver, Bullets in the Briar

“Silence cut him to the quick as it breathed a tale he didn’t want to hear.”
Kimber Silver, Broken Rhodes

“The stars sparkled in an inky sky as they drove through the hot summer night—rhinestones scattered across midnight silk. Out here, a person could almost see forever across the flat expanse of farmland. Wide-open spaces revealed little towns miles away, their lights glinting like rubies and pearls. Kansas held a subtle beauty that only a quiet eye could see.”
Kimber Silver, Broken Rhodes

“This town was caught in a perpetual state of stagnation. The same three thousand or so people were still living the same small-town life. They thought they ruled the universe from the confines of this one-mile square, yet their world ended at the city limits.”
Kimber Silver, Broken Rhodes
