Kim’s Roundabout Journey

Kim Findlay standing on a concrete surface near turquoise water, wearing a blue tank top, black shorts, a cap, sunglasses, and sandals. In the background are several anchored sailboat boats and a hilly distant shoreline under a sunny sky.

Canadian romance author Kim Findlay grew up in Ontario but left behind the corporate world, the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the snow(!) and ran away to far flung places to write romance novels.

After a number of years of visiting the most beautiful places in the Caribbean by sailboat, Kim later settled for a couple of years ashore in the sun and fun of the beautiful island of St. Martin. Mid-2025 saw a new adventure, where Kim upped the anchor and moved to France! Apart from traveling and exploring to find the perfect place to settle here, she spends her time reading, writing hockey romance, and acclimating to a new land with her husband and Charlie, the world’s cutest Cocker Spaniel. #lifegoals accomplished!
