Kim Vermaak always had a pen in her hand. Whether doodling, crafting poems, or writing letters.

Born into an abusive family, Kim's first heroes were her adoptive parents. Through them, she learned the gift of new beginnings.

She also learned a love of reading and how she could be transported to a place where ordinary people could find the courage to rise above insurmountable odds. Through books, she found her courage.

But it was not until South Africa faced its first series of power cuts she found her talent for storytelling. In the dark, with a frightened daughter, she began to create heroes that could tap into their inner strength and win.

Thanks for the question.

I started a book inspired by my adventurous and fiercely independent daughter, who has a love of animals, but the story evolved from there to a world I created entirely from my imagination.

Humans have a history of exterminating things we fear or do not understand.

I wondered what it would be like if dragons were created for a purpose and what that purpose would be.

What would their society be like? What would their family life be like?

In my books, I deal with a lot of social issues that repeat themselves through history. Problems we still struggle with today.

I have four dragon species, each with a district purpose and culture, which you will discover as the series develops.

Book 2, The Fire Within the Storm is available on Amazon and book 3 will be out in the first quarter of 2021.(less)

So when I feel like I am struggling to write, I begin to research something about that time period and that helps me to imagine one of my characters doing that activity or facing that struggle.(less)

Who do you rely on?

 




Who do you rely on? In the last two weeks, I have had to ask myself this very question. Trust is an important part of being human, as is faith. But there are things we can not anticipate that come our way that can shake our world. My daughter’s fiance’s flight was cancelled two hours before he was due to board and I have had several of my support team fall ill. This comes after I had been ill Read more of this blog post »
