Kim Gottlieb-Walker
My career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. After 50 years as a professional photographer, I have reinvented myself as a novelist.
While still at UCLA and shortly thereafter, I shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World.
I also shot the stills for John Carpenter’s Halloween, Halloween II, The Fog, Christine, and Escape from New York, and worked at Paramount for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and for five years on Family Ties. For three decades I was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild.

My Novels

1465 - Abandoned at a convent at age five to be educated and raised, and forced to wed at fourteen, Caterina is trained in dance by her social-climbing husband and introduced to the wealthy and powerful Medici family - and her world expands. She inspires Botticelli and finds earthly bliss in the arms of Giuliano de Medici, the adored Golden Youth of Florence. When loss and grief propel her on a journey to find her father, she is accompanied by the stable boy who has become her knight. A novel of love and loss, humor, friendship, tragedy, and adventure set against the sweeping backdrop of renaissance history.
