Kymberly Hastings, author of ten historical and contemporary romances, tries to hide below the radar by writing under a pen name. She holds a bachelor's degree in theater and a master's in English. Over the years she has taught school, acted in film and theater, written for newspapers and magazines and has done both modeling and teaching for John Robert Powers. However, writing novels and scripts is what she loves the most. A world traveler who has visited all seven continents, she currently resides in the U.S. with her husband, five dogs and two cats. Hobbies include gourmet cooking and fashion coordinating.
