Sally Ride to Stand Tall in National Statuary Hall?

Karin Kallmaker 02/09/2015 LIFE + STYLE

Astronaut and Scientist Sally Ride’s statue may represent California in the Capitol Statuary Hall and she’d be the first openly LGBT person figured there.

Dear Dairy – reblog from KG MacGregor

Karin Kallmaker 02/07/2015 Craft of Writing, Sisters of the Pen

My example is from Love by the Numbers:
“She loved her beautiful back hair.” I caught that in the last proof before the book went to press.

Why There Should Not Be Special Rules for Lesfic Book Reviews

Karin Kallmaker 01/13/2015 Awards and Reviews, Business of Books, Craft of Writing 5 Comments

Authors in lesbian fiction are not able to withstand customary, ongoing criticism like writers in other genres?

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?

PTown 2014 at Womencrafts and GCLS!

You can catch up to me in two places this Women’s Week, both high in laughter and low in pressure. Just drop in and feel free to say hello and collect your hug (if you’re in to that).

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia: Time and Language
    When Karin wrote both Roller Coaster and Car Pool, the spelling of both phrases was as titled - two separate words. Time passes. Karin feels it is completely inappropriate that both are now one word: rollercoaster and carpool. Eww.

Random Shiny Things

  • Reader Comments about Do Overs Plus Two More
    An excellent writer, with lots of experience, and it shows.
  • “Highly Recommended!” – Review from Caren J Werlinger
    Kallmaker's pandemic book, but it wasn't heavy, even if there were echoes of the despair and darkness of that period. Highly recommended!
