Oh, that madcap media.  Always turning two flurries into a blizzard.  They make a whoop-de-doo out of me once in a while, too.  Here's where to keep up with the occasional snowflake by yours truly.


“Is it possible to have a funny bone in your heart? Kim Brittingham is as hilarious as she is insightful.  I could read a kajillion books full of her words.” 
                                               – Josh Kilmer-Purcell, co-star of television's The Fabulous Beekman Boys; author, I Am Not Myself These Days, Candy Everybody Wants

 

“Kim Brittingham wields her pen like a magic wand.  She makes you laugh out loud, cry softly, stand up and cheer, and keep on thinking long after you've read her.”                                     
- Hillary Carlip, author, Queen of the Oddballs, A la Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers


 

“Kim Brittingham's writing is not only witty and relatable, but candid and fearless. Her unique perspective  will make you laugh, but it will also make you think—a very fine combination no matter what she's writing about.” 
                                   
                     Rachel Fershleiser, co-editor, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure   
 

“Kim is a literary genius...Her writing is magical and intelligent."
                                             Lac D. Su, author, I Love You's Are For White People
