Local Featured Author for October: Kimberly Kirby

Our local featured author for the What's Happening Myron Book Club for October is Kimberly Kirby, an African American writer from right here in Memphis. Her book is called “Joy”.

 

Joy is the first in a series that follows the life of Joy, Jonathan, Carla, and everyone’s “ favorite” couple Angela and David. This book is personal to me because it comments on why we as women spend so much time in unhealthy relationships we know weren’t working from the start. I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoyed writing and sharing it with reader s like you!

After graduating from Kirby High School, she attended The University of Tennessee at Martin where she graduated with a bachelors of Science. Kimberly has written several songs, children’s books, poems and screenplays that are slated for publication soon. She resides in Memphis with her husband, Rod Kirby, and their cat “Mighty Max.”

We will see you on the Saturday, 26th from 4-6 at TJ Mulligans, 312 North Main in Downtown Memphis. In the meantime visit her website at http://kimjkirby.com.
