Kim Cady's Biography
Member Info
Nashville, TN
Jun 2011
I am a writer and an illustrator whose love of animals inspires my work. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Creative Writing. I write poetry and novels dipped in fantasy. I've lived throughout the United States, originating in Buffalo, New York, where I wrote as a poet, songwriter and novelist. The close-knit artist community in Buffalo prepared me well for my relocation to Nashville, Tennessee, which I now call my home. I am a proud Associate Member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
Influences
I have been influenced in my most recent work (and all my life) by Elyne Mitchell and Madeliene L'Engle. Also, I enjoy most of Hunter S. Thompson's work, thought perhaps the influence in this series is not that obvious. Willie Morris and William Jordan round out my current influences.
Upcoming Works
