Welcome

Kimberly Burns writes historical fiction based on the wild and wonderful true stories of the unknown Americans who built this country.

The 19th century was a period of tremendous change and development in the US. Indomitable men and women plucked up their courage and packed their grit to travel and settle the West. These ordinary people lived through extraordinary adventures that were soon forgotten, unwritten in school books. Kimberly wants to tell these tales. She blends historical facts with fiction, staying true to events, people, and places while imagining the dialogue, relationships, and motivation of the characters.
