smallholding in the country-side? The house has a name: REDGATES. Alicia is

this old homestead. But digging around in the house’s past may uncover more

Kim Koning
Kim is a dark fiction writer with the heart of
a poet and the soul of a gypsy while the ancient rhythms of Africa, the
birthplace of storytellers, courses through her veins. Wanting to be either a
pathologist or a criminal psychologist, life took her on a few twists and turns
while studying journalism and after a couple of meandering offshoots that did
not involve fiction, fiction finally chose her when she was asked to write a
short story for a NZ anthology (which was a National Award Winner). Kim now lives
on the beautiful East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island and is lucky enough
to call the Pacific Ocean her backyard. She can often be found wandering the
cliff tops above the crashing ocean and walking through the lush farmlands that
surround the area. But with a heart caught between two lands, the sunburned,
ancient Africa and the lush, green islands of New Zealand, she finds her true
home within the white pages covered in ink. Her fiction is caught between the
dark and mysterious, the truth and the what ifs, secrets and reality, shadows
and light. Kim really does see ghosts and her loved ones believe ghosts and
extreme weather phenomenon follow her around. She grew up spending holidays and
weekends at her grandparents’ large old farm homestead which had a hidden wing
that was haunted. These early experiences with haunted homes ignited her
imagination and started a spark that made her question what else is out there
that we couldn’t see, what is around us observing us? Why could she see these
ghosts/spirits and many others couldn’t? The spark was lit and the stories
started coming as fast as she could write them down. One of these real life
experiences sparked The Redgates Secrets, Kim’s debut 6 part novella series.
