“The publishing game is a difficult game to play. If I were in it for financial gain, I'd be gone. If I were in it for awards, accolades, and acknowledgment, I'd be gone. If I were in it to flex my intellectual prowess, I'd surely be gone. I write out of love for people...with hope that while entertaining, I can help someone, if only one someone, see something - feel something - come to know something... In the end, for me it's all about love...” Kim L. Dulaney Kim L. Dulaney.jpg) Kim L. Dulaney lives in Chicago, IL with her two children.
