Kimberly Van Meter (edit name/settings)

An avid reader since before she can remember, Kimberly Van Meter started her writing career at the age of 16 when she finished her first novel, typing late nights and early mornings, on her mother's old portable typewriter.

She's come a long way since that first piece of work, breaking into print in December 2006 with the release of her first published novel with Harlequin Superromance. Today, she writes for Superromance and Harlequin Romantic Suspense.

A journalist, Kimberly has worked for both daily and weekly newspapers, covering multiple beats including education, health and crime, but she hopes to someday say goodbye to her nonfiction roots and write romance novels full-time.

In addition to writing, Kimberly enjoys photography and reading.

Kimberly is married to her college sweetheart and together they have three children, three cats and one dog.
