ON THE PAGE

As a lurker on a few blogs, for personal and professional reasons, I often run across mention of my work or me in surprising contexts. One of the reasons I lurk is that readers are perfectly free to have a public discussion of the writer “Karin Kallmaker” and their comments I know are directed at the books or the writer, not the person.

Wearing of the Green

Karin Kallmaker LIFE + STYLE

I’ve got green eyes to protect me from pinches (or so I’ve claimed every March 17 for many years), and my daughter is well equipped with green leggings, shamrocks on her shirt and a green hat to avoid pinches. My son will wear a green hoodie while claiming he was going to wear that anyway.

I’ve got less Irish blood in me than I do Native American, but it’s St. Paddy’s Day, and today I’m Irish! Erin go bragh!
