Kim believes every child should be read to. THE AUTHOR'S INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ADVENTURES OF SHERIFF WILLIKER: The Adventures of Sheriff Williker was inspired by Kim's childhood memories growing up in a small lake community in northwest Iowa. She named the sheriff after a saying her mom often said, 'gee whiz willikers!' Kim's grandparents lived in the quaint town of Superior, Iowa. They had strong family values and were the picture perfect 'Norman Rockwell' grandparents. In their spare time, they loved to garden and fish-grandpa in his overalls- grandma in her apron. Her grandpa was a U.S. Marshal and the town's sheriff. Her grandma was a cook at the local school and known as the town's 'doctor.' Kim would sit and listen for hours in amazement at the stories they would tell her of the early days. Her grandma would say... "long before there were automobiles our mode of transportation was a horse and buggy-a kerosene lamp lit our way." Her grandma made house calls to deliver babies-many times traveling in freezing temperatures through snowdrifts. When Kim was sick, her grandma would make her feel better by giving Kim one of her homemade remedies-warm lemon juice, honey-and lots of love! Kim is also a talented artist/muralist. She owns and operates JK Hansen Studios, f/k/a Custom Murals & Designs. Her work has been showcased throughout Colorado, Florida, and Arizona. In 2009, Kim became involved in true crime book projects as an investigative researcher with self-published bestselling authors, Sherrie Lueder, John Hansen, Jill Hansen Smith, and Tyson Wrensch. Both books, "He Killed Our Janny" and "Until Someone Gets Hurt," have won numerous awards and international bestsellers. The literary team has appeared as guests on numerous radio shows and television, including INVESTIGATIVE DISCOVERY'S 'Forbidden' and 'A Stranger in My Home.' In January 2014-combining her talents as an investigative researcher and muralist-Kim set out to accomplish her dream of writing and illustrating a series of children's picture books, THE ADVENTURES OF SHERIFF WILLIKER. In the spring of 2014, she self-published book no. 1, 'The Case of the Missing Horseshoe," in both English and Spanish editions, and became bestsellers on Amazon Top 100 Books [Large Print] Children's Books, and #2 in Hot New Releases in Children's Books.
