  Interview with Kimberly Wilkerson Author of Kingdom of Grace Please tell me a little about your current work in progress. I sporadically post to my blog between juggling a busy lifestyle. The second book/follow up to Kingdom of Grace is coming out by the end of 2022, where you will learn how the 2 nd Kingdom is doing and follow up on Grace’s new prospects. Where did you get the idea for this book or series? It happened while I was rediscovering my spiritual nature Do you write in more than one genre? Yes, however I have only published one book under Children’s/YA Tell me about something that you believe makes your writing unique or worthy of attention.

The Nahorn objective was to prevent the Kru from returning with intelligence that the outpost was inadequately defended. In similar scenarios I've played, the Kru always split up and every dog face fends for himself--leaving them to face the riders alone. This time, the Kru leader kept his warriors together. However, the line formation he used was vulnerable at each end, which is where the horse scouts targeted their attacks. The Nahorn men waited for the Kru to clear the rough and brushy ground before striking. The mounted spearman above took out two Kru in one pass--slaying them both. One of the dog faces did get to the high groun...
