She is an RWA Vivian Award finalist, a Publisher’s Weekly BookLife Prize Semi-Finalist, a HOLT Medallion finalist, and has been lauded by critics for “easing feminism and equality into her novels” (<em>IndieReader</em>) and “writing characters who complement each other like a fine wine does a good meal” (<em>Publisher’s Weekly</em>).<br><br>During her fifteen year career as a marketing executive, she moonlighted as a journalist, freelanced as a travel writer and lived it up as an entertainment columnist. She has lived in five countries, visited more than thirty, and spends part of her year in her pied-à-terre abroad.<br><br>When she’s not writing, Kilby goes to movie matinees alone, where she eats Chocolate Pocky and buttered popcorn and usually smuggles in not-a-little-bit of red wine. She is a cinephile, an oenophile, a social justice fighter and—most of all—a glutton for a good story.<br><br>To hang out with Kilby online, check out her Facebook fan group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/kilbyskorner<br>Please route any subsidiary rights or other inquiries through kilby@kilbyblades.com.
