Kimberly Stuart is an American author who is well-known for her inspirational and romance novels. She holds degrees from St. Olaf College and the University of Iowa, although she admits that neither of these degrees taught her anything about parenthood or writing. Besides writing, Kimberly also does public speaking and is a reliable source of entertainment and inspiration for her audiences.
Stuart is best known for the Heidi Elliot series, which has gained popularity among romance novel enthusiasts. She has a unique voice and style that sets her apart from other authors in the genre. Stuart's writing is characterized by its humor, wit, and ability to tackle deep emotional themes in a way that is both relatable and inspiring.
According to Stuart, she loves a good story, both written and lived. She has a particular fondness for imported chocolate and her children, although she admits that the order of her affections sometimes gets muddled. Stuart writes comedic women's fiction that has an infusion of faith, but she seems to make Christians nervous. Nevertheless, she encourages readers to take the risk and e-mail her publisher if they must.
Stuart has always loved a good story, good writing, and a good laugh. As a child, she would force her brother into playing the game of "Library," where she would write official-looking information with a red Sharpie, and he would have to hold an inscribed, stinky book. Decades later, Stuart turned to writing to cope with the isolation and charming chaos of motherhood. Eight novels in, Stuart continues to love the power and the unfettered joy of a great story. In addition to her work as an author, she coaches aspiring writers alongside best-selling author Bob Goff, co-leads writing retreats, and hosts two podcasts, For Real with Kimberly Stuart and The Writing Room.
