“A Fine Touch” – Comfort and Joy Reviewed at Dear Author

Karin Kallmaker 05/06/2013 Awards and Reviews, Comfort and Joy

“Care is plainly there and the desire to give instead of just taking pleasure.”

GCLSCON and Roller Coaster

Karin Kallmaker 04/09/2012 Awards and Reviews, Book News, Events and Appearances, Roller Coaster, Sisters of the Pen

It’s such a loving, fun-filled event, even for shy people. So think about it for a getaway to start your summer off with lesbigasmic fun.

Roller Coaster’s First Review!

Karin Kallmaker 01/15/2012 Awards and Reviews, Roller Coaster

As Laura and Helen encounter romantic challenges with other people, Kallmaker quietly but effectively sets the stage for their relationship as they live and work together in a family setting.

Do You Review? Blog It!

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

I’m surprised by how many don’t realize they owe it to their own body of work—which is what you call a collection of creative endeavors such as writing down opinions—to share it as widely as possible.

Above Temptation and Frosting 2, 2010 Goldie Finalists

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

Since the Goldies are my favorite lesbian event of the literary year, having 2 titles survive the to finalist status is like a great big cherry on top of what will be a very fun week.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? Sure!
    It's unusual for Karin to have an actor in mind to play one of her characters. An exception is Marissa's mother in Finders Keepers. The "step up on the table in the country club dining room to make an announcement" personality - it's so Meryl Streep. If she were unavailable then Helen Mirren would do it justice as well.

    The premise for the story is interesting and imaginative... Refreshing!
  • Reader Comments about Car Pool
    It was as if she knew me, and created the character of Shay right out of my life.
