Author Kimberly Dunham

Welcome

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Kimberly Dunham, and I write YA dark forest fantasy stories featuring elemental magic, sentient forests, and sandwiches. I also enjoy a good pun (or a bad one). If you enjoy stories that mingle darkness with humor, beauty, and hope, you’ll enjoy my books.
