Kimberly Llewellyn currently writes for Kensington's Precious Gem Romance, a line of sexy, sassy, short contemporary romance novels that can be found only at Wal-Mart stores nationwide. Llewellyn also enjoys writing "confession" style short stories and nonfiction articles. She gives workshops on writing fiction when time allows. She has served on the board of the Tampa Area Romance Authors as secretary, program chair, and vice-president. A former New Englander, Kimberly Llewellyn now pens her prose amid the palm trees of Florida.
Romances have changed over the last several years; today's heroines are savvy and strong while the heroes are to die for. So if you're ready for a good book or haven't read a novel in a while, why not come back to romance with Kimberly Llewellyn?
Whether it's a highly emotional love story or romantic comedy, Llewellyn's books deliver more than just a satisfying read. "I want readers not only to sigh contentedly when they finish the last page, I want them craving for more, wishing for a few more pages, hoping for some sort of sequel."
And readers often ask her to write sequels. "They tell me how they fall in love with the characters. Of course, these readers aren't too happy when they're forced to stay up half the night reading because they can't put the book down." But Llewellyn admits, "Nothing is more gratifying to me as a writer than hearing that."

"I guess I've always written love stories, but once I found the romance genre, I knew I found a home for my writing." Llewellyn began storytelling using pictures and storyboards long before she could write, and started three novels in high school. She originally chose nursing when she attended college. But after spending time with Norman Mailer one fateful summer, she soon changed her major to English and earned her B.A. at Salem State College in Massachusetts. Her decision served her well in the corporate world as she ventured into desktop publishing, advertising/marketing, and working as a corporate writer/editor.
