To talk about my book on my blog is one thing, but to do it here … well I’ve not done it so far.  I didn’t want to put something here that felt like spam or a sales pitch.

What I do want to put here is how excited I am that those that have read it so far, are really loving it.  I feel like Sally Field during her speech.  You love me?

Now I know there will be some critics who will not love Finding Kylie, but with only 2 1/2 weeks under it’s belt it’s doing well as far as feedback.  You can read a couple reviews here.

To put yourself out there, for all to read is intimidating.  To allow your heart’s song to be read and sung by who knows how many is a little crazy to me.  This story line is so personal to me, and the characters have been my babies.  To let it all out there for everyone to critique has been a little scary, but having people call me and email me or text me with their thoughts on it have been worth it.

So thank you to all of you who have bought it so far, and reached out to let me know how much you’ve enjoyed it.  To those that have no idea I even had a book, with a sequel following soon, I hope that if you’re a reader you check this book out.  Here’s the synopsis with a review that follows.  This site has my contact info if you want to reach out after reading it to give me your input.

Finding Kylie by Kimberly McKay

What if… after laying your mother to rest, the mother who has been the only real family you’ve ever known, you discover her secretive past in a set of hidden journals? What would you do if she was the only link to the father you never knew?  A father you’d been told was dead, but was indeed very much alive…

Twenty-five year old Chastity searches through her mother’s belongings in hopes of finding any shred of evidence that leads to her father.  A man, she’d always felt was out there…somewhere. Any glimmer of hope is dashed when she reads one tiny line scrawled across the back page of her mother’s notebook.  One traumatic sentence is all it takes to unravel her life long desire in a matter of seconds.

Chastity uncovers the sordid truth, a truth that her mom, Kylie, tried to hide at all costs.  This newfound information plunges Chastity into a new world of control, power, and hurt.  With the help of her mother’s best friend, Cheryl, and Timothy, a handsome attorney hired before her mother’s death, Chastity sorts her way through her new found family ties and the costs that come with it.


Finding Kylie

Reviews

“After reading the trailer for Finding Kylie I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the novel. I knew I was in for a good story and the manuscript exceeded my expectations. Using a combination of intrigue and gentle suspense, Kimberly McKay leads the reader down a trail of self-discovery. Her spunky heroine, Chastity Wayne, not only survives the premature loss of her mother, Kylie, due to cancer, she “finds” her again in the pages of the journal she left behind and in the memories of her best friend, Cheryl Jenkins. In the process, Chastity also finds herself, and the confidence she needs to pursue relationships with an openness that her mother never felt. I look forward to more good story-telling from Kimberly McKay.”
