BIO
Kimberly Packard is an award-winning author of women’s fiction and romance.
She began visiting her spot on the shelves at libraries and bookstores at a young age, gazing between the Os and the Qs. Kimberly received a degree in journalism from the University of North Texas, and works in public relations and communications.
When she isn’t writing, she can be found running, planning her next trip, asking her dog what’s in his mouth or curled up with a book. She resides in Texas with her husband Colby, a clever cat named Oliver and a precocious black lab named Tully.
Her debut novel, Phoenix, was awarded as Best General Fiction of 2013 by the Texas Association of Authors. She is also the author of a Christmas novella, The Crazy Yates, and the sequels to Phoenix, Pardon Falls and Prospera Pass, her stand-alone titles Vortex and Dire’s Club and her duology This Time Around and Feels Like the First Time.
She was honored as one of the Top 10 Haute Young Authors by Southern Methodist University in 2019 (she was most excited about the young part). Vortex was the 2019 winner of the Pencraft award in Women’s Fiction, and Dire’s Club, was awarded the 2021 General Fiction of the Year by the North Texas Book Festival. Her novel, This Time Around, was an America Book Fest finalist in romance and winner of a 2025 Stiletto award from the Contemporary Romance Writers.
