This is the first in a series of small volumes that involve what the author calls “words and pictures at play.” Each volume focuses upon a small set of subjects. This first one focuses upon communication, technology (especially smart phones), and love. The author has been a professional artist, art historian, and computer interface designer, as well as a creative writer, so these books are filled with both visual and verbal content. The book’s format is somewhere between a cartoon album, comic book, sketchbook, and an ongoing collage.
Kim Smith is the author of short romances, YA fantasy, and caper mysteries. She is a devout coffee addict and a recent, sick fan of Dr. Who, especially the Tenth incarnation, David Tennant.
At the age of ten, she released her first book. A retelling of the pilgrim's plight in America on a half dozen pages, self-illustrated, on stiff first grader type paper.
Decades later, she still writes. Her artistic endeavors have improved (somewhat), and her books have made Amazon Top 100 lists, climbing as high as #1. She lives in the Mid South region of the US with her husband, and their charming Chihuahua dog, Lady Darby.
