Kimberly Patton Kerner

I was born and raised in California and currently reside in Huntington Beach with my husband. As a wife, mother, and proud grandmother, I cherish spending time with my grandchildren and value my faith, and family above all else. I love riding bikes with my husband along the beach, staying in touch with friends, swimming, traveling, and soaking up all things summer.

Christmas has always been my favorite season, from the magical glow of colorful lights and festive music to the cheery decorations and heartwarming holiday movies that make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings.

A child at heart and inspired by years of creating fun Christmas scenes with my elves, Jingle and Belle, I wrote A Jingle and Belle Christmas to share that same joy with children and adults alike. It's a fun, faith-filled story that celebrates the heart and true meaning of Christmas, one that can last all year long: faith, fun, family, friendship, love, joy, kindness, and cheer. May we all each and every day, keep the spirit of Christmas alive in our hearts!
