True Confessions about Made-Up Things
When Karin wrote In Every Port in 1987, she was afraid many readers outside the Bay Area wouldn’t have heard of Harvey Milk. She decided to set her novel in 1978 so she could include him.
For the record, Karin can’t paint or play an instrument (so writes about both), has trouble following a recipe (ergo the food porn), and has little aptitude for hard science (even though smart is the new sexy). She does have a marginal talent for double-entry bookkeeping. All of this explains why Car Pool and Above Temptation feature super sexy accountants who love music and food.
Half tongue-in-cheek Victorian novel and half modern day erotic horror, Castle Wrath features one of Karin’s ditziest heroines, whose ignorance about the United Kingdom’s nations is all too common among her countrywomen.
