When Kimberley was a kid she read a book a day, scribbled stories, and dreamed about having her very own book on the library shelf. After growing up in San Francisco, she now lives in an adobe house on the banks of the Rio Grande with her big, messy family.
Kimberley once stayed in the haunted tower room at Borthwick Castle in Scotland and didn't sleep a wink, sailed the Seine in Paris, rode a camel in the ancient world wonder of Petra, shopped the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, and spent the night in an old Communist hotel in Bulgaria. She adores anything old and musty with a secret story to tell.
The author of 10 award-winning middle-grade and Young Adult novels with Scholastic and Harpercollins, Kimberley makes way too many cookies when she's writing - and the best book trailers in the universe.

Snippet:
It was still dark
outside the windows, but from a distance, a cock crowed loud and long.
Wordlessly, we hurried out the door of the bedroom suite and into the hallway.
Liquid moonlight
dripped along the walls of the palace as I followed my handmaids to the Temple
of the Sariba Goddess—the stronghold of the High Priestess Aliyah—the woman who
hated me and wanted the man I loved.
The last of the moon
lowered itself to rest upon the distant horizon and my chilled fingers clutched
at the folds of my gown.
The reality was,
depending on what happened at the temple, I might not ever come back. I was
desperate to bring my sister back home with me, but terrified of Aliyah’s power
over Leila, including the power of the Egyptians and their magic incantations.
