What, When, Why and Sometimes How

Stepping Stone, Duffy, and Inspiration

Karin Kallmaker 11/07/2009 Book News, Cheers & Chocolate, Stepping Stone

The lyrics of Stepping Stone were written by the team of Booker, Stephen Andrew, Duffy and Aimee Ann. Combined with Duffy’s haunting performance, it’s the perfect example of when one kind of art inspires another.

Karin Kallmaker 08/23/2009 Book News, Craft of Writing, Embrace in Motion, Painted Moon - First Edition

Random Shiny Things

  • A is for Above Temptation and All the Wrong Places
    This is an exciting read, with lots of action and a yummy romance.
  • My Lady Lipstick at The Lesbian Review
    Both characters are expertly drawn and easy to love. I appreciated that Kallmaker made one a wonderfully complex and relatable butch.
