Kimberly Carrillo

Kimberly Carrillo is a storyteller from all over. Originally from the Midwest, she spent most of her adult life in the Pacific Northwest before returning to her hometown in Illinois. She lives with her teenage son and a house full of pets. When she's not writing she can be found in the bleachers of a sporting event cheering on her son.

When asked why she chose "Beautiful, Messy, Love" as her tagline this was her answer: "What I've learned through my life and studies is that life is chaotic, often painful, but also beautiful beyond measure."
