About the Author
Kim Elliott lives in Langley, British Columbia with her husband, two busy kids, and a sleepy dog named Marley. When she isn't writing stories, she enjoys watching singing competitions on TV, eating donuts, and going shopping for jeans. (That last one was a blatant lie.)
Kim's first literary love was the fantasy genre, but these days she prefers worlds similar to our own...with a few minor improvements. She reads mainly romance and is addicted to that butterfly feeling when two characters who are perfect for each other finally realize it. She has a particular soft spot for tough guys who are secretly cinnamon rolls on the inside. If you crave that tingle of excitement you get when reading about two people on the verge of falling in love, her books might be for you!
Falling for the Villain is Kim's first published novel, but there will be many more to come. Keep your eyes peeled in summer 2022 for the sequel!

How Falling for the Villain Came to Be
The idea for Falling for the Villain came to me while I was watching cartoons with my four-year-old daughter. I found myself wishing the story would go a different direction. It's a feeling I get a lot when watching TV and movies. I like superheroes but always want better romance than we get from this genre. I decided to take matters into my own hands and write the story as I wanted it to be.
While I was finishing my book, I wrote a 500-word flash fiction about how the idea came to me and submitted that story to the Hilroy #startwriting contest on Wattpad.com. My entry was selected as the grand prize winner! Winning that contest gave me the final boost of confidence I needed to finish editing the book and publish.
