Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Women Who Know Who They Are
    Admiration for strong women in history was one of the reasons Faith Fitzgerald in Wild Things is a history prof and biography writer. Plus that's what she explained were her studies, so it's not like Karin had a real choice in the matter.

Featured Published Things

  • Cover Cowboys and Kisses lesbian romance by Karin Kallmaker. Woman in black dress holds a book of old folded pages and lavender. Cowboys and Kisses - Historical Romance - eBook $4.99
