Biography: Kimberly Phifer holds a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Minnesota and a graduate degree in law from the University of Minnesota Law School. She started her career as a private practice attorney, eventually becoming a corporate attorney and then a tenured university professor. In 2008, she launched Forsooth Publishing in order to publish her then fifteen-year-old daughter's novel, Legacy. With the goal of obtaining a traditional publishing contract, she garnered numerous five star industry reviews and several awards for the book, and secured a literary agent for Cayla. Rights to Legacy and the remaining two novels in the trilogy, Allegiance and Sacrifice, have since been sold to a major publishing house.
