Biography

KIM BOCK is the internationally published author of several captivating novels, short stories and Novellas, that blend elements of mystery, fantasy, and romance. 

Her unwavering passion for storytelling, which led her to self-publish on platforms like Amazon Kindle Unlimited, started with a traditionally published Historical Romance, in 2009. 

She published this novel with LAPA in South Africa, which is an imprint of Penguin Random House, South Africa. It was published in an era before ebooks took off, and it quickly sold out. There is unfortunately not an ebook available for this novel, ‘Gee My Jou Hart.’

Born and raised in South Africa, Kim's love of literature began at a young age, inspired by the works of great authors such as Charles Dickens and Dostoevsky. 

She holds a post-graduate degree in Psychology and a Bachelor's in Criminology, bringing a unique depth to her characters and plots. Her diverse career has ranged from trade union negotiating to website design, enriching the worlds she creates. 

Her latest project, a dark ROMANCE series, called The Sentinels, mixes dark romance and Gothic Horror with supernatural intrigue. This reflects Kim’s talent for crafting accessible yet profound narratives. In her writing, she continues to explore the complexities of human relationships, mystery, and identity. 

When she's not writing, Kim reads! An avid reader and history enthusiast, Kim also enjoys learning new languages and caring for her cats, Maya and Nacho, who are her constant companions and a source of joy in her life.

Welcome to My Literary World!


Hello, fellow book lovers and adventure seekers!
I’m absolutely thrilled you’ve found your way here. Whether you discovered me through “The Sentinels” series, stumbled across one of my mysteries, or heard whispers about supernatural romance with a psychological twist, you’re exactly where you belong.
My journey as a storyteller began long before Maya Ortiz started hunting monsters in the shadows of New Harbor. It started with a traditionally published historical romance back in 2009 (sadly lost to the pre-ebook era!), but my true passion lies in crafting worlds where the impossible feels inevitable and characters face choices that test everything they believe about themselves.


You might wonder how someone with degrees in Psychology and Criminology ended up writing about vampires, dimensional entities, and ancient conspiracies. The truth is, understanding what drives people—their fears, desires, and moral breaking points—is essential whether you’re analyzing criminal behavior or creating characters who must choose between their humanity and saving the world.


From my writing desk in South Africa (usually with my cats Maya and Nacho providing “editorial assistance”), I love exploring the spaces where mystery meets magic, where romance blooms in the most dangerous circumstances, and where ordinary people discover extraordinary power within themselves.


Here on this site, you’ll find exclusive content, behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process, and early access to new releases. You’ll also discover stories that span from supernatural thrillers to witching mysteries—because why limit ourselves to just one kind of magic?


Thank you for joining this journey with me. Whether you’re here for the spine-tingling supernatural elements, the complex romantic relationships, or simply because you love getting lost in worlds where anything is possible, I’m honored to share these stories with you.


Welcome to the adventure. Let’s see what shadows we can illuminate together.
Happy reading!


Kim


P.S. - Yes, my cat Maya came before my Sentinel Maya, though I’d like to think they share the same fierce independence and protective instincts.

PLEASE NOTE: NO MARKETERS PLEASE! I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO READ THE EMAILS OF BOOK MARKETERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON PURPORTING TO BE A MARKETER. AN EMAIL FROM A MARKETER WILL EARN AN IMMEDIATE IDENTIFICATION OF THE EMAIL ADRESS AS SPAM AND BE BLOCKED.
