THE AUTHOR’S INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ADVENTURES OF SHERIFF WILLIKER
The Adventures of Sheriff Williker was inspired by Kim's childhood memories growing up in a small lake community in northwest Iowa. She named the sheriff after a saying her mom often said, ‘Gee whiz willikers!’
Kim's grandparents were the picture perfect 'Norman Rockwell' grandpa and grandma. They lived in Superior, Iowa, a quaint town in Dickinson County. Her grandpa was a U.S. Marshal and her grandma was the town’s ‘doctor.’ Kim would sit and listen for hours in amazement at the stories they would tell her of the early days. Her grandma would say… "long before there were automobiles our mode of transportation was a horse and buggy--a kerosene lamp lit our way." Her grandma made house calls to deliver babies—many times traveling in freezing temperatures through snowdrifts. When Kim was sick, her grandma made her feel better by giving Kim one of her homemade remedies—warm lemon juice, honey—and lots of love!
