About Me


Hi, I'm Kimmi. I'm a writer and storyteller. I'm a triple Leo. I'm a big laugher.
And I use the expression "I understand" way too much.

For more information about me, check out www.kimmiland.com or my book’s myspace page
My memoir The Devil, The Lovers & Me: My Life in Tarot
will be published by Dutton this summer.
Blurbs for my book:
"So fresh and original you don’t want it to end. An enchanting debut.”
—Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth
"Frank, funny, and fiercely insightful."
-Susan Shapiro author of Lighting Up and Five Men Who Broke My Heart
“Warning: there will be times when you will be laughing so hard that you won't
realize that you are also crying.... A shining example of what it means to be
humorously flawed and gloriously alive.”

—Courtney Martin, author of Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters
"A fresh, witty, gut-honest account of what it's like to be a smart, sexy,
single woman in her 30s. Even the most cynical among us will not only
root for Kimberlee Auerbach, they will see themselves reflected in her
journey toward self-awareness.”

—Sally Koslow, author of Little Pink Slips
“Kimberlee inspires us with her courage as she takes emotional risks...
and invites us to laugh and cry and then celebrate.”

—Robin Stern, Ph.D., author of The Gas Light Effect
"An inspired spin on life, love, and Tarot."
—Stephanie Klein, author of Straight Up & Dirty
