Autorenporträt
Kimberly Allen Carter, creator of the Indie Inkwell Books brand, was born in the early fifties in the small beach town of Balboa, California. In those days, imagination ruled! The peninsula provided both bay and ocean playgrounds. Sand dunes became forts, caves and coves the perfect hideouts to stash treasures. Jetties, buoys, and seawalls allowed for unending exploration, while rowboats, bikes and skateboards offered freedom of movement from one end of the neighborhood to another. Children played outside until the sun fully set or the cowbell rang denoting dinnertime, whichever came first.An adventurer at heart, Carter later pursued a career as a US Merchant Mariner and for 13 years traveled to exotic ports-o-call across the globe. The heightened awareness she experienced during her travels abroad ignited her desire to learn more about cultures other than her own. Thus, she pursued a master's degree in Intercultural Communication and subsequently accepted a professorship at Hawaii Pacific University, where she taught a range of writing and communication courses. Through the years, Carter also upheld a vocation as a writer. Her published works appeared in such publications as Journal for General Semantics, Professional Mariner magazine, and Hawaii's Waimea Gazette. But it was her increasing knack for creating original ditties, poetry, short stories, and songs that gave rise to what many consider a unique voice, indeed.Today Carter focuses on writing for young children, filling pages with whimsical content, lyrical verses, and full-page color illustrations designed to elevate a youngster's reading experience. Her stories resound of playful fairy tales of yesteryear, through which she hopes to spark imagination, encourage individuality, and instill into young minds a sense of wonder and excitement. Carter lives with her husband, two Labradors and a Dutch rabbit. She splits her time between Los Cabos, Mexico, and their home in the Pacific Northwest.
