No Rage Stalking Here – Why I Welcome Critical Reviews

Karin Kallmaker 11/07/2014 Awards and Reviews, Craft of Writing 9 Comments

Authors behaving badly. Readers retaliating. This is why we can’t have nice things? Like a viable feedback loop that helps writers grow and readers get better books for their money?

Karin Kallmaker 10/27/2013 Awards and Reviews, Love by the Numbers

Do You Review? Blog It!

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

Karin Kallmaker 04/29/2011 Above Temptation, Awards and Reviews, Frosting on the Cake Volume 2
