Kim Hornsby - Complete Works (Almost)

In an effort to get more organized AND because readers often ask how many books I've written, I am listing my work in a blog today.
I write Suspense Novels. I also dabble in Contemporary Romance because it's a wonderfully escapist genre for women and I'm all about entertaining my readers.
Some of my novels have sexy scenes that are more graphic than others. If you were rating my books for sexy, they'd fall between 3/5 and 2/5. No erotic romance and no completely closed door sex.

The Dream Jumper novels are optioned for FILM, something I capitalize and put in bold because of its excitement level.


Commonalities with my books:

All contain some romance elements
All have recipes at the end
All have limited swearing, no blood and gore, and no torture
All are cheap enough for everyone to buy

FYI
-My most successful novel in terms of sales is NECESSARY DETOUR which has had the fortune of being under AMAZON'S wing in the Prime program for a month and now owned by Amazon Encore and The Wild Rose Press.
-Do I resemble any of my protagonists? Yes and No. I used to teach scuba on Maui, like Tina, I was a rock singer, like Nikki, I performed at the Iao Theater, like Lei, I lived in Whistler and skied, like Daria, I once had a jewelry business like Lena, and I'd like to think that under dire circumstances, I would rise to kick ass, like these women.
-The shortest time period I've finished a novella is 6 weeks - Maui Kalikimaka
- I have been known to watch The Bachelor and wrote The Husband Hunt series because of my obsession with the show. Luckily, I've backed off now and don't watch the show as much.
- My favorite book I've written is The Dream Jumper's Promise because it's the type of book I most love to read with supernatural, suspense, romance and Maui! I'm proud of the ending's twist.

Thanks for reading

Goldy hits Gold in Romantic Suspense!

Necessary Detour, my Romantic Suspense, is doing well this month on Amazon Prime and I thought I'd give it a little shout out to offer some tidbits on the publishing story of a book about a newly retired female rock star hiding from a psychotic stalker at her lake house in Washington State.


ND was the second full novel I ever wrote. It was my experiment to see if I could write romance and when I shopped around for a publishing deal, only to get no response, I figured it was my throw away novel to hide and forget, even though I loved the characters and the story.

Nikki is the rock star GOLDY, comparable to Madonna's popularity and longevity, or Beyonce, Lady Gaga, but heartbreakingly beautiful (Of course! It's Romance!) When she suddenly announces her retirement from the music business at the age of 39, the world mourns, the media seeks an answer, and Nikki goes in hiding from a stalker who masterminded an unsuccessful murder attempt at her final concert.

It's a fun read. When I submitted ND to a few romance publishers 5 years ago, Source Books, Carina Press, The Wild Rose Press, I had interest and in the end, the one who came back with a publishing offer was TWRP, a boutique romance publisher that is known for being extremely author- friendly and easy to work with.
I was thrilled, and they published ND at the same time as I Indie Pubbed my other book The Dream Jumper's Promise. I felt like I'd given birth to twins and they were at separate hospitals as I ran back and forth caring for my babies!

Both books did well that first year, ND especially so when it fell it with thriller writers like Dean Koontz and other big names. Because I didn't control the book's cover, description, or other publishing details, I also couldn't see the numbers. I had no idea it was selling like it was until I got a whopping check in May and realized I should have put more effort into my RS. I was oblivious to how well it did those first few months.

Four and a half years later, ND is now with both TWRP and Amazon Encore who asked for it 6 months ago, seeing it did well enough to have a second start at bestsellership. I was honored to be asked!
And just after Christmas, ND was chosen by PRIME to take part in that program. TWRP contacted me and offered me 90 days of PRIME, for a flat payment rate and I jumped on it, never having made that kind of money for one book in 90 days. I was thrilled again!

ND hit #55 in the Kindle Store last week which is frickin' amazing and it's doing really well on PRIME, up there with Romantic Suspense Authors like Elizabeth Naughton and Kendra Elliot. My hubby says this is the little book that just keeps on giving and I have to agree with him.

For a novel that got written with hope, love, humor and then went under the bed due to rejection, I am proud that Nikki and Pete's story has a wide readership. Here's to love and danger!

As one reviewer recently said "It's a great book for the beach or the fireside."
