About this author

I'm represented by Adams Literary Agency and thrilled to be publishing four novels with Scholastic Press. THE HEALING SPELL is now out in paperback with a *perfect* new cover. It won the Whitney Award for Best Youth Novel of 2010 and is a Bank Street College Best Book of 2011.

CIRCLE OF SECRETS launched October 1, 2011 with a *starred* review in School Library Journal. WHEN THE BUTTERFLIES CAME releases April 1, 2013. The 4th book has no title yet but it is scheduled for Summer, 2014.

My sexy Young Adult trilogy (pitched as the YA version of "The Red Tent") was purchased by Harpercollins in a significant pre-empt for publication beginning in 2014. (Belly dance, Goddess Temples, tribal warfare, and a delicious romance.)

“Sometimes you just gotta let some tears out or you'll burst. -Miz Allemond”
Kimberley Griffiths Little, The Healing Spell

“Forgiveness was sweeter than I'd ever imagined. Hope was turning into faith. In fact, they were so close they could almost be the very same thing. Or they could be, if I let the tiny seed keep growing inside me. I realized that faith could fix a broken heart. Faith was the glue that held it together. That was part of the miracle.”
Kimberley Griffiths Little, The Healing Spell

“And Mamma was still asleep. I called it the sleeping sickness because coma is the ugliest word in the entire universe. If I could, I'd erase it from the dictionary, but Old Webster would probably hunt me down.”

“I blew that clay pigeon to smithereens. I don't know why Mum got so upset. According to Uncle Andrew she's a crack shot herself. But she says I'm too young. What I'd like to know is how old does a person have to be before they get to do all the fun stuff?”

Kimberley Little Hi Kenna, so sorry I'm late responding to your last two messages. I've been out of town the last week speaking at conferences. I hope you get your copy of BUTTERFLIES soon! :-)

And hey, I will actually be in Provo, Utah this weekend for the LDStorymakers conference and there is a huge book signing with dozens of LDS authors at the Provo Marriott from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 10th if you'd like to come with your parents and meet me and get a copy autographed. :-) (I can't remember how far from Provo you are . . . but spread the word!)

Warmly,
Kimberley

Kenna~Turn on the Light~ Your welcome! :) Thank you too! Ha ha! I only got one book sadly for this Christmas. But a bunch of others I guess put to one because I got a Kindle Fire! *squeels* And the one book that I got was THE HEALING SPELL!!! I have been telling my mom how much I want it and how much I would love it and she got it for me! I'm excited to continue reading it! It's amazing so far!

Warm wishes to you too,

Kimberley Little Dear Kenna,

I hope your mother can find it in one of the libraries around you - or did you know that you can actually ask the librarians to order a copy? THE HEALING SPELL is in paperback now, too, on places like Amazon and Barnes & Noble for only $5.99. I think you'll like it since there are connections to CIRCLE OF SECRETS. It will help pass the time until next January when my BUTTERFLY book comes out!

Happy New Year, and happy reading! I love to read, too! Mostly children's and Young Adult books because I think they're so good. :-)

Warm wishes,
Kimberley

Hi Kenna, thank you SO much for writing to me! I'm always thrilled to hear from my readers and I'm so excited that you love my books so much! That makes my whole year to hear that!

And gosh, thanks for the kudos on the book trailer and my looks, too, you are very sweet! :-)

My next book comes out in a year from now. It's called WHEN THE BUTTERFLIES CAME and you'll see it in libraries and the Book Fairs, too.

I know that a year is a looong time to wait - I have a hard time waiting too, but I have a lot of work to do meanwhile to get it ready to be published, as well as Scholastic who creates the beautiful cover art and design.

Happy New Year! I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you and your family.

Kimberley


Kenna~Turn on the Light~ HI! I'm ssssssooooooo exsited to read your book the healing spell, I think I can find it in my school library.

I would love it VERY much it you wrote back!
