About A City Mom

I'm A City Mom and an author. I live in Chicago with my husband, three kids, two cats and one dog. I've written two novels, Down at the Golden Coin and Wish Club; more information on my books is available below or on my website, www.kimstrickland.com. When I'm not being a mom or a writer, I fly 767's for a major airline. I thought I would try out writing as a new, more creative way to take a paycut.

Please feel free to get in touch!
