ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Here are twenty-five random things you could ever want to know about Kimberlee:
1. I've been in a gas chamber, filled with CS gas, without a gas mask, and lived to tell about it :)
2. Dark chocolate truffles can make me smile no matter what the circumstance.
3. My earliest memory is age 3 (when my dad left).
4. I managed to miss being deployed to two wars because of one push-up.
5. I wrote my first novel when I was a teenager...it is now a published young adult series.
6. I have hugged the famous Christian performer, Carman.
7. The first thing I ever published was a poem called, "Silent Amor" written about a high school crush.
8. My biggest fear is being buried alive. (I'm totally claustrophobic.)
9. My cat is named after my favorite non-chocolate candy. She is black, and her name is licorice.
10. I've been in every state in the US, except Rhode Island, Maine, Hawaii and Alaska.
11. I went to school for 33 years and ended up with a foo foo degree (MA in Humanities)
12. I don't like watching movies without happy endings unless I know there is a sequel.
13. I despise everything about tomatoes. The smell, texture, taste...I'll eat them cooked if they are pureed beyond their natural
form, but please don't expect me to consume them any other way! Yuck!
14. In junior high I planned to join the choir, but discovered I couldn't sing, so I joined volleyball instead. I ended up playing all 6
years, was captain in my senior year, and I played in the Army. (Still don't sing in the choir, but sang at my wedding.)
15. My first two jobs were window washing at my school, and making biscuits at KFC.
16. I used to roller skate every other weekend as a teenager.
17. My first car was a 1977 Mustang and everyone at work called me Farrah.
18. I met my husband writing a play.
19. I met Jerry B. Jenkins last year and he signed a book to me, "To Timberlee." So I have his picture up with the words, Tim &
Jerry. :)
20. My nanny was Chinese, and I blame that for why I love all Asian food, that isn't hot, more than any other food.
21. My most embarrassing moment was when I went to a youth group for the first time and walked into a men's restroom in
front of the entire group.
22. I have such a strong sense of smell, I can even smell "outside" on people and bad breath across the room. (Why couldn't
God have given me good eye sight or hearing :)
23. If I could talk to anyone in the Bible, it would be Peter. I'd ask him how he got over his foot-and-mouth disease and was able
to do great things for God.
24. I'm most likely to spend money on DVD's.
25. I'd rather be wearing Converse shoes than any other shoe. Even in a suit :)
