The Writer
History: I wrote my first story about a Halloween Cat in 1959. I was five years old! By the 1970's, I was writing reams of epic poetry inspired by JRR Tolkien's Silmarilion and his academic paper 'On Fairy Stories'. None of those earlier works survived my teens and 20's nor did any make it to publication. I can't tell you how relieved I am about that!
I have published extensively in the field of astrology though, and in herbal medicine, childbirth and lactation. I've also written everything from lyrics to funding applications, and course outlines to web content. My Astrology, Mythology and Law of Attraction web site is full of articles and links!
The Novels: My first trilogy, Quantum Enchantment, hit the bestsellers list within a week of release and my second series, Quantum Encryption, delivers another searing and imaginative journey of intimacy and adventure, magic and technology. Path of the Stray, Road to the Soul and Journey by Night return to the hidden world of Gaela, an agrarian based magical world where all things — animal, tree, stone, river and storm — are considered equal. Juxtaposed is a post apocalyptic future Earth where technology has failed and pure water is the only currency. '
Grounded in extensively researched magic and ancient astrology, her imagination and powerful storytelling has won her a strong fan base nationwide.

2011 Update from Kim: My current, most thrilling project is a three book series set in a completely different world, Amassia. This work is inspired by a John Waterhouse painting called The Siren and the return of the Earth's continents to a single landmass. Two hundred and fifty million years in the future, down a different evolutionary track . . . It's co written by me and my brilliant animator/cover artist son, Aaron Briggs. Stay tuned for more details!
The Astrologer
Astrology has been part of my life for over thirty years. My father, D.W. Falconer, inspired my interest in the occult as I watched him use horoscopes in conjunction with financial adventures and business management. His most successful work was in the stock markets. My astrological approach has taken a different path from big business. I incorporate ancient wisdom and mythology with mystical traditions, art and poetry, ever seeking the hidden worlds of the inner self and their affects on aptitude, events, health, relationships, beliefs and manifestations.
The synchronicity between the horoscope and a person’s life continually fascinates me. Writing, teaching and speaking about has been part of my journey. Consulting internationally in this field keeps me fresh and current, as does writing magazine articles, text books, web site articles and papers. More on my Readings and the Law of Attraction.
The Student
I am an eternal student! I've studied alternative health, Jungian Psychology, art history, quantum physics theory, metaphysical philosophy, self-sufficiency farming, marine biology, veterinary nursing, dressage, animal husbandry, SCUBA diving, and nursing mothers counseling. I hold diplomas in herbal medicine, nutrition, vet nursing, farrier science, literature and am a board certified lactation consultant. I've also studied yoga, music (banjo, mandolin, guitar), mythology, tarot and of course, astrology.
The last few years I've trained in the Japanese art of the sword, Hokushin Shinoh Ryu Iaido, and studied socio--technology and web design through Open Universities Australia. I am now undergoing a Masters degree in Writing from Swinburne University and learning Flamenco guitar. I highly recommend OUA. What a great way to nurture the eternal student in everyone!
