Notes from A Writer's Desk

Writing

 

It's for real! Hannah Free, a wonderful movie starring Sharon Gless, is going to be a novel, forthcoming this fall from Bella Books. If you visit my blog, you can read more about it!

I'm very pleased that Unforgettable has finally been translated to Spanish as Inolvidable. If you visit my blog, you can see the fabulous cover, which features the work of Judy Francesconi. You can also follow the blog feed at Facebook.

Back from a series of trips, including a family trip to Vegas, to find that The Kiss that Counted has been shortlisted for two Goldies, Lesbian Romance - Contemporary and the Ann Bannon Popular Fiction award. In addition, Tall in the Saddle, in which I'm one of four novella contributors, was shortlisted for Lesbian Erotica! I'll be at the GCLS convention in Orlando this July, and I hope I see you there! There's a couple of fun things from me up for auction, too!

The Y Tour was fabulous, indescribably so. But then again I'm a writer, and so I try to describe it (at length) in this blog entry, Something More Permanent Than Books! There are also lots of photos at the BellaYTour site, including comments by the authors.

Maybe Next Time, my first Lambda award winner for lesbian romance, has been released as an eBook! Many more of my older titles will be available as eBooks over the next year.

WARMING TREND is now available from BellaBooks.com and major retailers! If you order from BellaBooks.com, Warming Trend is also available in eBook.

I've often mentioned how delightful the character of Lisa was to discover when I wrote Warming Trend. (Read an excerpt featuring Lisa.) Her name, however, was part of a silent auction to benefit the GCLS Scholarship Fund conducted at the GCLS Convention last year in Phoenix. The winner was writer Lisa Girolami, and I have to say that "Lisa" really stepped into her shoes! I'll be auctioning the chance to name a character in Above Temptation at this year's GCLS convention in Orlando, plus another cute little item...just follow the link.

I'm having a terrific time talking to readers at the Bella Forum and on Facebook. You can now find me easily at Facebook: Facebook.com/Kallmaker.

I'm pleased to report that I'm writing Stepping Stone. It's a lesbian romance novel about a woman at the top of her game in Hollywood who suspects everyone of trying to climb over her to get what they want, especially the long line of starlets who fall into her lap any way they can think of.

 

Hannah Free by Claudia Allen

I am thrilled to be editing this forthcoming novel by Claudia Allen. Okay, and looking for any excuse to put Sharon Gless's picture on my web page.

Why Lesbian Romance Stories?
My philosophy of lesbian romance. I am of the opinion that lesbian romance stories are the only novels where a woman can go to find affirmation of her hopes, her dreams and her choices in life. They contain the evolving nature of our relationships, friendships and community.

For many women, even in 2009, the only community they can safely find is in books and stories written by lesbians and for lesbians. Depictions of real lesbian lives -- or lives we hope some lesbians somewhere are leading -- remind us that, even though we may not get it, we have a right to respect and happiness, regardless of what voters might say.
