ABOUT 'LOVE AMONGST THE FEAR'

In a moment she would be face-to-face with him, her unwanted stalker, her deprived monster. In the historic country town of Haveshore, newly divorced Belinda Sturt hopes to build a better life for herself. Though welcomed by the community for her vivacity and quiet strength, she’s not sure if she’s ready for love again. That is, until she meets charming gym owner Kyle Wright. Strong and sensitive, Kyle too is gun-shy of relationships. As their mutual attraction becomes impossible to ignore, the couple choose to take a chance on each other. Little do they know, they risk much more than just a broken heart. Gaining the attention of a dangerous stalker, Belinda’s new life is thrown into jeopardy. Intent on making Belinda his next victim, the stalker isn’t playing games. Driven by anger and fear and determined to protect her independence at all costs, Belinda contemplates taking the law into her own hands. But when the dust settles, will her love and her life still be standing?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kim Pavy has worked across medical, surgical, midwifery, neonatal intensive care and now geriatric nursing. Her writing reflects the care she displays and the human strength she has witnessed as a nurse. She is particularly interested in creating strong, independent female characters who are complex and capable of leading a fulfilling, multi-faceted life.

​

Since semi-retiring from nursing, Kim has delved into writing as a way to feed her vivid imagination. Starting out with short stories and poems, Kim is now publishing her first novel, Love Amongst the Fear. A romance thriller partially inspired by personal experience, her book follows a young woman as she welcomes love into her life only to find herself entangled with a stalker.

​

Despite being a recent convert to writing, Kim has been longlisted in the 2025 Newcastle Short Story Competition and has a short story coming out in the EM Fletcher Writing Competition Anthology. She regularly enters short story and poetry competitions and is currently planning her second novel.

​

As well as writing, Kim also loves Tai Chi and artmaking. She hopes to become a Tai Chi instructor so that she too can foster a welcoming, warm sense of community. Kim lives on the North coast of NSW with her loveable old dog Ruby.
