More About Me

Born and raised almost entirely in Amarillo, Texas, I carry a deep love for the Lone Star State. I’m a Christian, wife, and mom. After my family, my passions include writing, teaching Bible school, movies, and design.

By day, I am a professional building designer, specializing in custom homes. In the early morning, I write and conduct the business of writing. If I don’t have access to technology, paper, or a pen, I daydream my stories. I tumble them over and over in my mind’s eye until I get the chance to write them down.

I am blessed by God (and yes, even spoiled) with family and friends who support me, even when they don’t understand me. I love and adore them with all of my heart.

I serve on the board of directors of the Texas High Plains Writers, an organization established in 1920 to support and encourage writers of all kinds throughout the Texas Panhandle and surrounding area.

I’d love to come and present to your group, class, organization, or book club. I speak to college writing classes, children’s classes, and ladies’ groups, to name a few. Please contact me at kim@kimblack.net for more information.

Topics include the writing process, research, inspiration, Bible stories, social media, encouraging children to love storytelling, character development, and more.
