About this author

Kimberly is the author of the BODY FINDER series (HarperCollins) and THE PLEDGE trilogy (Simon & Schuster). She lives in the Pacific Northwest, the ideal place to write anything dark or creepy...a gloomy day can set the perfect mood. She lives with her husband and their three beautiful (and often mouthy) children who provide an endless source of inspiration.

So, someday I swear I'm going to try to give a speech WITHOUT flinging my hands around...




Love the LAST ECHO shirts...


It's always good to be surrounded by friends :)

“He loved her.
Jay Heaton, her best friend since childhood was in love with her. He didn't say it but she knew that it was true.
And the part that really freaked her out, the part that caught her completely off guard, is that he wasn't alone. Because even though she'd been denying it for a long, long time, it had always been there... waiting beneath the surface of their friendship. And now that it was out there was no going back.
And it was so weird to even be thinking it but...... she was in love with him too.”
Kimberly Derting, The Body Finder

“What are you doing here?" she asked as she slowed from a jog to a walk and placed her hands on her hips. It would take her a few minutes to get her breathing back to normal. Longer if he kept smiling at her like that.
He shrugged. "I couldn't sleep. What about you?"
She opted for the obvious and filled her voice with as much sarcasm as she could. "I live here, actually”

“I swear that boy can't function without you, not even at lunch.”

“Multihued light radiated up from beneath the water, centered among the reeds, and then diffusing outward as it reached the surface. Violet had never seen anything like it, and she knew that the spectrum of light was defying its very nature by behaving in that way.

It could only be one thing.

There was something dead down there.”

Sorry, Tori, the blog posts on Goodreads are cross-posted from my regular blog so you have to click through on the external website links. There is still a giveaway being hosted by HarperCollins on the actual LAST ECHO Goodreads page. Hope that helps :)

And I would LOVE to come to VA with VR and MdlC. They are both super sweet!!! YOU should come to Chicago in April (we'll all be there for the RT convention ;)

Tori Stegle Wait, I'm slightly lost. How do we win a GIVEAWAY for The Last Echo? haha. And yes, it may have calmed down your jitters but it only made me go more crazy and get more sad that you will not be coming anywhere near VA :( haha. That should be a goal of yours....to make your way to the east coast! And bring Veronica Roth & Melissa de la Cruz with you! haha. Anyways, I can't wait to get my Body Finder books soon. You are a genius <3
