Kimba Dalferes

Fishes for King salmon. Estate sale junkie. Sometimes writes books.

Kimberly “Kimba” J. Dalferes is a native Floridian, but has spent the past sixteen years pretending to be a Virginian. She is the author of "I Was In Love With a Short Man Once," her first book.

She is a bit worried that much of her current writing seems to center on public transportation and she has no rational explanation as to why this is true. Her accomplishments have included successfully threading a sewing bobbin, landing a 35 pound Alaskan King salmon, and scoring a blue and white Chinese vase at an estate sale for $1.

She recently discovered that there is a very real possibility that she might be related to Princess Margaret Tudor, the sister of King Henry the VIII (on her mama’s side). A proud Florida State University graduate, she often sings the Seminole fight song out loud for no reason other than she still knows all the words.

She currently lives, works, and writes in Fairfax, Virginia with her husband Greg, dog Taz, and occasionally her son Jimmy, when he is home from college.

Kim's blog - Reflections from the Middle-Aged Cheap Seats - http://kimdalferes.com/category/kim-dalferes-blog/ offers her insights and often humorous descriptions of life in the middle.
