Kimberly R. Morgan

Born in Northeast Mississippi, Kimberly was raised to be a true Southern Belle. In 1999, Kimberly moved with her husband, Steve "Big Man" Morgan to the North Slope of Alaska and lived in the remote Inupiat village of Nuiqsut for two years. Kimberly realized the moment she arrived in the clannish village, population approximately three-hundred, the comforts of every day life she had taken for granted were now five thousand miles away. The blonde from Tupelo, Mississippi was now a "fish out of water" among the fur-clad natives. During the two years while living and learning the Inupiat culture, Kimberly experienced temperatures that reached eighty-below, and wind gust as strong as fifty miles an hour. She also learned quickly to always check outside your door with caution to not rile a Mama Polar bear that had casually wandered into the village. Kimberly became friends with the Inupiat children fast, but their parents and the village elders didn't take to the blonde white woman so easy. It took over a month for them to realize she was a friend, and not another "white enemy." Kimberly's novel, "Sins of the Midnight Sons" is based on this experience. The book is eighty-percent non-fiction as it deals with the double life lived by the men and women who work in the oil camps and villages. Kimberly gives the reader an up close and personal look at real village life on the North Slope. "Sins of the Midnight Sons" has been adapted into an exciting psychological thriller now in development. Kimberly continues to write the truth with just a little extra spice to protect the real characters of the pipeline world. Kimberly is working on her next screenplay titled, "Pipeline Mafia Queens" along with working towards getting "Sins of the Midnight Sons" onto the big screen.
