Roller Coaster – Before and After the Self-Edit

Karin Kallmaker 07/10/2011 Craft of Writing, Roller Coaster

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.

Writing, Reading and LESBIANS – Really.

Karin Kallmaker 05/01/2011 Business of Books, LIFE + STYLE

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 Shiny Things

  • Velvet in Venice – “Gorgeous Read”
    A very well written and gorgeous little read with a bit of magical realism thrown in.
  • Painted Moon at Lambda Book Report
    A classic Kallmaker romance - Painted Moon is as steamy as readers like it to be. The story is a good one, the characters are realistic.
