Kimberly Lang hid romance novels behind her textbooks in junior high, and even a master’s program in English couldn’t break the obsession with dashing heroes and Happily Ever After. A ballet dancer turned English teacher, Kimberly married an electrical engineer and turned her life into an ongoing episode of “When Dilbert Met Frasier.” She and her Darling Geek live in beautiful North Alabama with their one Amazing Child—who, unfortunately, shows an aptitude to sports.

Kimberly is a founding member of The Writing Playground, a website for aspiring authors, and she blogs with her Playfriends there every Tuesday.

The Call

Every author loves to tell the story of “The Call.” Kimberly’s Call stories and celebrations can be found here, here, or here.

What is The Writing Playground? Who is the Problem Child?

The Writing Playground is a site Kimberly started with four of her writing buddies. It has lots of great information for writers—craft articles, interviews with editors, agents, and authors, book reviews and such. They also have a blog where you can keep up with the day-to-day circus that is their lives. Kimberly’s alter ego on the Playground is The Problem Child, and her job is to stir up trouble (okay, so maybe it’s not that much of a stretch!). She blogs every Tuesday and hopes you’ll come by and see what they have going on!
