Today we meet the effervescent Kim Harmon Gatlin, a Dallas native and author of the bestseller ”Good Christian Bitches,” which led to the ABC TV series. Kim opens up about the book's inspirations, rooted in her own experiences of high-society Dallas, and how her divorce from Rudy Gatlin of the Gatlin Brothers fueled her creative process. 

We swap outrageous stories about Dallas society, from the social expectations to the underground dating and hook-up scene. 

Kim tells us about her latest project: investigating a notorious murder and trial in Dallas, which Kristi says pre-empted the city's ”decadent eighties”.
