Hallmark Uncaves, Says All the Right Things

Karin Kallmaker 12/16/2019 LIFE + STYLE 6 Comments

Any ally for inclusion should take a long hard look at Hallmark Channel’s entire representation. Is a movie or two with LGBTQ leads enough to overlook the oh-so-white Christmas?

I Think I Thought I’d Remember

Karin Kallmaker 10/17/2019 Book News, Painted Moon 25th Anniversary Edition

When I was writing Painted Moon, it’s very possible that all those years ago I thought I’d remember all the details. If so, that didn’t work out.

Arting Your Heart Out – Introvert Writer Self-Care

Karin Kallmaker 08/11/2019 Craft of Writing, LIFE + STYLE, Resources 1 Comment

Enjoying local people art their heart out is one of my favorite self-cares for the solitary writer lifestyle. It’s also a great balance to the times we’re living through.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – For the Record, Accountants are Sexy
    For the record, Karin can't paint or play an instrument (so writes about both), has trouble following a recipe (ergo the food porn), and has little aptitude for hard science (even though smart is the new sexy). She does have a marginal talent for double-entry bookkeeping. All of this explains why Car Pool and Above Temptation feature super sexy accountants who love music and food.
