I became friends with Kimberly Borris more than 15 years ago
when we discovered we both had something in common – a passion for writing.
I was a little more fortunate than Kim. I already had a job
as a sportswriter for several different newspapers. Kim was struggling with her
life, a grandmother that needed constant care, parents that weren’t totally
supportive and finally she was blessed with the prize of her life, her daughter
Faith about 10 years ago.
But it can’t be easy being a struggling writer with a
demanding child that needed Kim’s attention all the time. There just wasn’t
enough time in the day to hone her craft. She had to make sure Faith had enough
food on the table and clothes on her back. Kim also had to worry sometimes
about where she was going to live, where she was going to work. Life was a
constant struggle, never mind her passion for writing.
And there were times that Kim was about to give up on her
dream of being a writer. She had enough. Life wasn’t fair to her and she just couldn’t
concentrate on sitting down and putting her thoughts to print.
Last year, Kim found that incredible talent again and
started working on a trilogy of books. This is her first novel, entitled Natural Causes, a work that cannot be
described as anything but brilliant. She self-published the novel and I’m so
proud of her that she found, not only the means to write it, but the
opportunity to see it come to fruition in print.
Here’s the plot to the book, which is found on Amazon Books
Seventeen year old Alison Stockley has moved
her whole life, back and forth. Now, in a new town with her beloved family, she
has to start over again with a new school, new friends, and an OLD problem that
seems to follow her everywhere. She always has to keep it hidden from everyone
else and now it's no exception. A new best friend, new high school issues, a
group of bullies and new crush will test her strength. How much strength does
she have to keep going? She's always been brave and fearless, she's HAD to be.
Kim’s book is a mere pittance in today’s world of
publishing. You can purchase it online for $12.99. Trust me, it’s well worth
the investment. You won’t be disappointed in my friend’s first foray into being
a novelist, one I hope and pray won’t be here last novel. Way to go, Kim! I
hope it becomes a best seller somehow, some way.
Here’s another way to find Kim’s book:
Please purchase it and read. You will not be disappointed.
