#WriterWednesday Author Interview with Kim Lengling
/
I’d like to welcome Kim Lengling to the blog for #WriterWednesday!
Favorite fall treat: Pumpkin Bread with cream cheese frosting.
A fall treat that makes you gag: I can’t think of any that I dislike 😊
Favorite autumn beverage: Hot coffee
A drink that gives you a sour face: Pumpkin Spice in any drink
Favorite fall smell: Leaves crunching underfoot as you walk through the woods.
Something that makes you hold your nose: The smell of skunk.
Best fall memory: Growing up, we used to rake leaves into a huge pile under the tree, climb up to a lower branch, and jump into the pile we had created. So fun! Looking back, wow, was that dangerous! 😊
Something you’d rather forget: The death of a high school friend that happened in the fall. Not to forget the person, but the sorrow and heartache…
A tradition you share with others: Heading out for an afternoon to go look at the colors of the leaves.
A tradition that can be retired: It’s not my tradition, but the addition of pumpkin spice everything in the fall could disappear, and I wouldn’t mind a bit!😊
Best thing you ever cooked/baked in autumn: Apple Pie
Your worst kitchen disaster: Raspberry Pie, ended up like soup. I’ve never been able to perfect it, so I stick with apple pie or apple crisp. 😊
Favorite place you spent a fall day: Anywhere outdoors
The worst place to spend a fall day: Indoors
Your best Halloween costume: Stevie Nicks (of Fleetwood Mac) – I had so much fun creating a costume with all the flowy scarves, skirt, and high-heeled boots.
A Halloween costume that wasn’t quite what you imagined: I usually stuck with costumes I knew I could create on my own. I don’t have one that was a fail. Witches, gypsy, Stevie Knicks, She-Devil…they all turned out great and I had a lot of fun with them!
Favorite pumpkin spice item: None
Something that should never be pumpkin-spiced flavored: Anything. 😊
Best Halloween memory: taking my daughter on her first Trick-or-Treat night. We were both dressed as good witches. It was so cold and even snowed a little bit. We were dressed for winter with our costumes over our winter coats. We looked and felt silly and had the best time!
Worst Halloween experience: I was around 10 years old. I lived in a small town, and trick-or-treating was our night! I was in my costume and had my pillowcase filled! A few older kids decided to scare us as we were walking home. In fear, I tripped, and my pillowcase fell out of my hands as candy flew everywhere. I lost more than half of my haul that night ☹
About Kim:
If you spot someone walking through a field with a coffee mug in one hand and a dog leash in the other—that’s probably Kim Lengling.
A multi-published author, podcast host, and all-around champion of hope and real talk, Kim is the voice behind the Let Fear Bounce podcast, where she shares stories that remind you hope is real, kindness matters, and you’re never alone, even on rough days. As a veteran living with PTSD, Kim knows the power of small, hopeful moments.
She’s the lead author of six heart-hugging anthologies (the latest, Paw Prints on the Kitchen Floor), and her book, Nuggets of Hope: Cultivate Kindness, drop real-life stories that lift you up when the world feels heavy.
To continue her kindness mission, her newest release, 15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness, is available as an eBook with print copy coming soon.
When Kim’s not writing or recording, you’ll find her relaxing with a good book, filling her coffee cup (again), or walking with her dog, Dexter, living her best nature-loving life.
