Kim Wong is the creator of Inside the Wong Mind which started as a way to read more books during her twenties and evolved into a way of supporting authors and their incredible stories. She grew up reading all the fun books including books about people who made an impact on the world. She hopes to make her own impact as she is studying to become a doctor (and is almost done!).
In her free time (what free time?), she enjoys de-stressing with a good book and maybe a cup of tea. She loves to crochet animal-style hats for all her friends’ babies, and she loves to play piano and sing. She loves to cook and watch all the current movies.
As a Christian, her faith is incredibly important to her and she hopes to continue to impact the nations in whatever way she can.

Kimberly (a.k.a Kimber) is a pretty rad person. She’s super reliable, loyal, outgoing, SUPER DUPPPERR SMART, and is a kooky cutie pie!! She’s like a Vincent Van Gogh painting…from far away you think you know her but as you get closer, you realize there is a lot of uniqueness and complexity to Kimber and you fall more and more in love with her!!!! – Angela W.
Kim is uber-friendly and always up for a good time. She’s loyal, and she’s genuine in her desire to know you. She loves Jesus and leading worship as she rocks the keys! – Kimmi W.

Hi Kim,
Congrats on Med School! I’m sure you’re super-busy. But I’d love to pitch my newest release to you for review–it looks right up your alley. š
The main character is female, from Kansas City, a worship leader with a hunger for revival–but the book is mystery/suspense genre. It’s called HOPE IS A DANGEROUS PLACE, and is now available on Amazon and other platforms.
Please email me at jimbaton@gmail.com or through my website https://jimbaton.com/ and I’ll send you more details, or send you a free copy in any format you prefer.
All the best!
Jim

Good morning!
I am an author of Christian historical fiction who is passionate about high-quality, spiritually-challenging literature. I have a new Victorian novella (150 pages) coming out on January 30, and Iām interested in submitting it to your book review process.
Hazelby Priors
By Courtenay Burden
She didnāt want a governess at all. Now sheās forced to hire TWO, just because they both expect it?
With her husband leaving for a transatlantic voyage, Helen knows she isnāt āqualifiedā to teach six high-energy students in his place. That doesnāt vanquish her urge to try. After all, who could love her children moreāor grasp Frankās vision betterāthan Helen herself?
A pair of prestigious teachers with diametrically-opposed philosophies are about to threaten her rosy ideal. Neither of them seems to grasp the one educational principle Helen and Frank actually care about. But neither has anywhere else to go if Helen turns them down.
Will rival governesses tear her schoolroom to pieces? Does Helen have the courage to reach out with compassionāand still hold onto Frankās original dream? And when an unforeseen disaster puts their anchor to the test, will a motto about Godās glory be enough to steer her children through the storm?
Combining the classic vibes of an authentic 19th century novel with a squeaky-clean content rating and a loveable cast of characters, Hazelby Priors is the story of a Victorian family dedicated to Christian home education, over a century before the modern homeschooling movement began.
If Hazelby Priors sounds like a story your readership would be interested in, Iād love to hear the details of your review process!
Sincerely,
Courtenay
