Kim

I'm an astigmatic expat writer, editor, blogger and community manager who loves thunderstorms, good books, sushi and wants to learn how to snowboard. Over the last few years I've written six crochet books, edited a magazine and co-hosted a television show. Now I work at LexPublica, I write and I blog. I live in Vancouver, BC, with one human and one mutt. The mutt *hates* thunderstorms.
