Kimberla Lawson Roby -- What A Career!

Featured Replies

I was just updating Kimberla Lawson Roby's page on AALBC.com and was just reviewing her career, which I've followed from the beginning.  She is an AALBC.com and Power List bestselling author.  She has also made other bestseller lists including the New York Times, on multiple occasions.  

Kimberla has been a steady force in publishing since 1997, when she self published her first book (years before self-publishing became the norm).  She has weathered all the changes the industry has gone through, and maintaining a substantial fan base or loyal readers..

A photo I took of Kimberla in 1999 with her 2nd Book Here and Now.

Here is a photo I took with Kimberla in May of 2015 (with author Trice Hickman, another great supporter of AALBC.com, whose career I've also followed from day one).

In fact both of these authors are easy to support; (1) They are both very smart about the publishing business; (2) they are return the support; and (3) they are just genuinely nice people. 

Did I say they both write good book?
