Roller Coaster – Before and After the Self-Edit

Do You Review? Blog It!

Karin Kallmaker 05/31/2011 Awards and Reviews, Business of Books, Readers and Libraries 2 Comments

Do you take the time to share your impressions of books you read? Where do you post them? Amazon? Goodreads? Barnes and Noble? Facebook, Yahoo or Google groups?

Above Temptation and Frosting 2, 2010 Goldie Finalists

Karin Kallmaker 04/29/2011 Above Temptation, Awards and Reviews, Frosting 2 - Second Helpings

The finalists are in the process of being announced for the 2010 Golden Crown Literary Society Goldie Awards, and both of my 2010 works have been shortlisted in their category. Since the Goldies are my favorite lesbian event of the literary year, having both Above Temptation, in Lesbian Romantic Suspense, and Frosting on the Cake 2: Second Helpings, in Lesbian Short Story/Essay/Collection, survive the screening process to finalist status is like a great big cherry on top of what will be a very fun week.
