…not quite cozy
Kim Black is a not-quite-cozy genre mixologist and award-winning author.
Texas-born and raised, Kim believes all stories are love stories but enjoys blowing things up, tearing things apart, and fleshing things out on the way to happily ever after.
To honor her family and appeal to a broad audience, she keeps her content PG/PG13-rated, contributing to her books’ almost cozy feel.
She didn’t have a stalker case—she had a crush. But when spoiled heiress Ronni Peters hires sexy PI Cotten Hammond, she discovers someone wants her out of the way. Can they expose a killer before becoming the next victim?
Drop Dead Dallas by Kim Black
My Little Black Dress Project is keeping up with the latest trends and all three books are getting new covers!
Revamped by my original cover artist, the books now have an edgier feel with bolder colors and lines. But don’t worry, Evan Tyler and her team are still on the job hunting down international baddies to save the world! (They’re what the world really needs right now.) The books are all available in print, ebook, and audio. The covers are still in the process of converting on some platforms, but I’m working on it. 🙂

I’m almost finished with my next novel, Drop Dead Dallas! I just have a little wrap-up, more editing, cover art, and then the prep for publishing. In the mean time, I’m getting a few of my marketing resources ready.
I thought you might like to see the character mock-ups I worked on with my art team. Here are my two main characters, Ronni Peters and Cotten Hammond.
