Kim is a writer, Speech-Language Pathologist and PhD candidate at the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy at ACU. She fills her time studying, writing fiction and non-fiction, and is the Assistant Editor for the Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties.

​

Kim loves writing, researching, reading true crime, thrillers, mysteries, literary fiction, books on history, and anything about communication and language. At the moment she is working on a collection of narrative essays that explain communicative and linguistic phenomenon with the aid of true crime, called Body of Communication (it's a working title and suggestions are welcome).

​

Her PhD studies are focussed on adolescent literacy, more specifically the role of the topic sentence in the written expository discourse of secondary students.

​

Just recently, Kim moved to Ngunnawal Country in the ACT with her husband and their groodles but visits Melbourne and Sydney frequently to work, to see friends and family and (to Melbourne) for decent coffee.
