Praise for Every Stolen Breath
“In this impressive debut, Gabriel balances a high-adrenaline, high-stakes story line with meaningful meditations on power and corruption, ego and greed, grief and guilt. Lia Finch is a complex, compelling hero whose courage and persistence will inspire readers everywhere.”
—James Klise, Edgar Award-winning author ofThe Art of Secrets
"A terrifying premise set against Chicago's stunning backdrop, a whip-smart protagonist, and enough twists and turns to keep your heart racing to the very last page—Kimberly Gabriel’s haunting debut will take your breath away.”
—Dawn Ius, author of LIZZIE, OVERDRIVEand Anne & Henry.
Daily Juggler of writing, teaching, and being a mom of three
The best advice I ever received was about juggling responsibilities: the more you take on in life, the more you have to accept that every now and again, you’re going to drop a ball or two. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s often how we get better.

Looking for our Pitch Wars wish list? Click here!! A list of books we love? Click here!!
For those of you who don’t know about it, Pitch Wars is a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each to spend three months revising their manuscript. It ends in February with an Agent Showcase, where agents can read a pitch/first page and can request to read more.
This year, I’m mentoring with Kara McDowell!
