How Good is Your First Chapter?

Karin Kallmaker 03/24/2008 Craft of Writing, Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen

  • Bell, Book and Dyke at Golden Threads
    “Some magic both in and out of relationships, some amusing twists on both magic and Druidism, and totally enjoyable for those who have a more esoteric bent. Great fun to read!” – Golden Threads
