KimBoo York:
I’m K.C. York and I enjoy telling stories, but otherwise I’m pretty trustworthy.
I used to be the kid who stayed up late at night reading books under the covers with a flashlight…and honestly not a lot has changed.
I’m a professional author who enjoys encouraging other writers to Write The Thing, and yes, I have a long standing love affair with fanfiction for which I will never apologize!
I’m over 50 years old and proud that I made it this far.
