Kimberley G. Graham is a Southern historical novelist, photographer, and Executive Director based in Memphis, Tennessee. Raised in Mississippi, she has long been drawn to the overlooked stories that quietly shape people, places, and communities.

Whether carrying a camera or writing a novel, Kimberley's work begins with the same question: Whose story have we forgotten? Through historically grounded fiction and black-and-white medium format photography, she uncovers the ordinary moments where memory, endurance, and grace reveal themselves most clearly. Her stories invite readers to look again—to discover that history is often found not only in extraordinary events, but in faithful lives that might otherwise be overlooked.

Kimberley earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Graphic Design from Memphis College of Art and continued her studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York and the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. Her photography and fiction share the same visual sensibility: richly atmospheric, historically grounded, and deeply attentive to the emotional life of place.

Beyond her creative work, Kimberley serves as Executive Director of a YMCA in Memphis, leading an organization committed to strengthening individuals, families, and communities. That daily work of serving others continues to shape the themes of restoration, hope, and human dignity woven throughout her writing.

Her current novel, Morning Star, is inspired by the remarkable true story of James Edson White's floating mission on the Mississippi River in 1894, bringing literacy, literature, and hope to forgotten communities of the post-Reconstruction South.

Kimberley lives in Memphis with her husband and their four children, where she continues writing stories rooted in memory, faith, and the American South.
