Sisters of the Pen

Karin Kallmaker's posts about other sapphic writers, particularly the foremothers of sapphic fiction, like Dorothy Allison and Lee Lynch. Women we all should be so lucky to know.

Art and Monsters – On Marion Zimmer Bradley and Not Looking Away

Karin Kallmaker 06/19/2014 Sisters of the Pen 5 Comments

Do not be part of issuing passes for “exceptional people” who rape and abuse children. People all around Marion Zimmer Bradley did just that.

The Lonely Art – Even More Fabulous!

Karin Kallmaker 03/13/2013 Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen

Gerri Hill, KG MacGregor, Georgia Beers and Carsen Taite have between them a catalog of nearly 60 books–with at least six more scheduled for publication in the next year.

The Lonely Art – Gerri Hill, KG MacGregor and Me!

Karin Kallmaker 03/12/2013 Events and Appearances, Sisters of the Pen

Truthfully, I’m just going to sit back and let them talk so I can figure out how they both produce such consistently good works and at a steady pace too!

GCLSCON and Roller Coaster

Karin Kallmaker 04/09/2012 Awards and Reviews, Book News, Events and Appearances, Roller Coaster, Sisters of the Pen

It’s such a loving, fun-filled event, even for shy people. So think about it for a getaway to start your summer off with lesbigasmic fun.

Barbara Grier, Reflections

Karin Kallmaker 11/10/2011 Sisters of the Pen

I can’t imagine my life not having intersected with Barbara Grier’s. Her impact on me is in my warp and weft, from the first lesbian books I read to conversations we shared, though they weren’t that many.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia: Castle Wrath
    Half tongue-in-cheek Victorian novel and half modern day erotic horror, Castle Wrath features one of Karin's ditziest heroines, whose ignorance about the United Kingdom's nations is all too common among her fellow Americans.

Featured Published Things

Random Shiny Things

  • Pas de Trois at Just About Write
    This tale of love lost and love found makes you cry and laugh at the same time.
  • Warming Trend at The Lesbian Review
    This is a beautiful romance, a story of two people who are so destined to be together that no matter how big the gulf between them they can find a way to overcome it.
