Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Who’s the Smarta$$?
    Karin's favorite sarcastic-inside-voice heroine is Leslie from Embrace in Motion. Marian the Librarian (One Degree of Separation) thinks that's a load of crapspackle but would never say so out loud.

Featured Published Things

  • Cover, Unbeliever by Karin Kallmaker. A novella of sisters, romance, and magic. Unbeliever - Love is Magic is Love - eBook $3.99

Random Shiny Things

  • No Rage Stalking Here – Why I Welcome Critical Reviews
    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?
  • All the Wrong Places at MegaScene
    ...A winsome heroine, hot sex, and an interesting plot.
