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.

Accounting Geekery – GCLS Fundraiser

Karin Kallmaker 10/09/2011 Sisters of the Pen

As an employee or board member I was involved in both a small home-grown association and a large one with thousands of members.

#GCLSLesbian Pride

Book Sale to Aid Long-Time LesFic Supporter

Karin Kallmaker 05/06/2011 Sisters of the Pen

There wasn’t a book Judy hadn’t read and her memory of small details was far sharper than mine.

One Writer’s Story: Celebrating Survival

Karin Kallmaker 10/21/2010 LIFE + STYLE, Sisters of the Pen

We’re here and we care. You are not alone. Reach out and don’t stop reaching out until someone is holding you safe. Suicide is not the answer. Choose life. It will get better. I know. I’ve been there.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? Sure!
    It's unusual for Karin to have an actor in mind to play one of her characters. An exception is Marissa's mother in Finders Keepers. The "step up on the table in the country club dining room to make an announcement" personality - it's so Meryl Streep. If she were unavailable then Helen Mirren would do it justice as well.

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

Random Shiny Things

  • The Dawning at Midwest Review of Books
    The Dawning is one of those superb novels that are so easy to pick up - and so difficult to put down!
  • Wind in Her Hair Has You Rooting for Love
    The writer has crafted the characters well, and you can't help but empathise with Irene.
