Kimmy , first and foremost is a wife and mother of 11 children. She has children who are married, just about married, in college, out of college, toddlers and teenagers...you name it! Kimmy spends what little free time she has, "freelancing". Her poetry, short stories, pen and ink drawings, photography and graphic design work, incorporates God, her family life, growing up on the farm, the trials of life, nature, romance, and a little humor of course!

"I like the variety in life seen through my eyes of everything I write..."

Kimmy has spent so many years savoring for this time in her life, where now, she can put it all down on paper!

Born in Pequannock, NJ. At a young age, she moved to a 70 acre horse farm in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with all of her 7 sisters and six brothers! (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!)

Now residing deep in the woods of a Florida tropical fauna... Kimmy is inspired...

"I love being a mother, a grandmother, and best of all, my husbands wife!"

She surrounds herself with nature and loves to hike unknown territories! She also loves gardening, smelling the roses and playing her red conga drums! They call me "Conga Kimmy"

"Life itself motivates me and all it has to offer!"

"Those that can see beyond the negative, wrap themselves up in the simplicity surrounding, can Listen to the Whispers and Rejoice!" Copyright 2008 Kimmy VanKooten
