Literary fiction and reflections from the wild places
Wilderness, faith, and lives shaped at the edge of the map
The Kim Norby Books — Read them all!
In Death on Disappointment Mountain, you meet Kim as she and her friend Misty head into the wilderness to investigate her boss’s death. Winter in the wild is harsh and demanding, and there is more going on than meets the eye.
Fair Game finds Kim and Misty reunited to rescue Kim’s niece, who is in over her head in Seattle. But it’s Kim and Misty who find themselves jumping into the deep end as they try to unravel a ring of human trafficking.
In the most recent book, Lost River, Kim and Brad Swenson find themselves caught up in the complexities of international borders in far northern Minnesota. From a search and rescue operation in a blizzard to a violent confrontation on a remote farmstead, the action doesn’t stop — and Kim’s life is about to change!

Reflections on hunting and life

Hi, I’m Jeff.
So glad you’re here! A little about me:
I’ve been playing with words all my life. At heart I’m a storyteller, and I love writing books. Much of my inspiration flows from the wild areas of northern Minnesota.
Some of my books are non-fiction. I served as a pastor for 30 years, and I still love helping people connect with God. Others are fiction stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. I really enjoy writing novels these days. You can find both my fiction and non-fiction on this site.
I’ve lived elsewhere and traveled a bunch, but I always came back to Minnesota, where I was born and raised. I love it here. My wife and I live on a small farm with two horses, a white cat, and a black dog.
I hope you enjoy my books. Thanks for reading.
