Hi! I’m Kimberly Pauley, author of the Sucks to Be Me series (Sucks to Be Me and Still Sucks to Be Me). My newest book is Cat Girl’s Day Off (released April 2012!). I generally write funny books with a hint of romance suitable for readers aged 12 and up, though I also write some darker stuff (including short stories).
Be sure to check out my Blog for the latest on whatever random thing I’m up to. If you’re looking for book report stuff, you can check out my bio or the FAQs. You can also find out how to get a free signed bookplate (and other book swag) or how to set up an author visit or Skype chat with me. I’d love to meet you and talk books!
My books have also been released in other languages like Spanish, French, Czech and Croatian. Isn’t it cool how different the covers are? Click on a book to go directly to buy it or find out more on my site.
