“Kim Baldwin adeptly depicts the fictional world with sharpness to rival the real world, writing realistic action, emotion, and descriptions in every scene.”             Midwest Book Review                                   In other news: In June, Dying to Live won a Lambda Literary Award for  Best Mystery, and also a Golden Crown Literary Society Award for Best  Romantic Intrigue/Suspense! High Impact was a finalist for a GCLS Award,  and both books won Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Awards earlier this year. Book #3 in the Elite Ops series, Missing Lynx, (a Lammy finalist last year) has been translated into Dutch and is now available from LaVita Publishing.                     I’m currently at work with Xenia on edits for the sixth book in the EOO Series, The Gemini Deception, due out next April.  Sheri did another awesome cover! Here’s the blurb: The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but lies. Agent Harper “Shield” Kennedy’s specialty within the Elite Operatives Organization is security, although she’s long lost any gratification from babysitting most VIPs. However, her new assignment—to safeguard the U.S. president—will prove to be the biggest challenge of her career. Shield’s mission to protect the first female chief executive is complicated by threats to her own life when she begins to question the president’s orders. Loner Ryden Wagner is content with her life as a florist until she becomes a pawn in a political deception involving the highest office in the land. Trapped in a dangerous game where one false move could cost Ryden her life, she has to rely solely on the president’s new bodyguard. As an attraction between the two women grows, so does the urgency for answers, but will the truth bring them together or tear them apart? Courtesy Zoomndog Productions Kim Baldwin            I’ve started work on my next solo book, another romantic adventure tale with lots of action set against a nature backdrop. Details TBA, on this, my 14th novel.      I’m also working on a massive rebuild of this website, when I have time. Not sure when it will be up and running, but in the interim I’ll only be doing minimal updates. To keep up with the latest on what I’m up to, follow me on Facebook.       Sad to announce I won’t be attending the annual BSB Palm Springs LGBTQ next March as I’d planned, which means I have no public appearances scheduled for 2013.  My travel budget will be reserved for a spring trip to Greece to write the seventh and final book in the Elite Operatives series.
