Kallmaker's writing gets better and better, her observations on the life lesbian more and more astute. Painted Moon is a very good romance novel with lots of extras.

Random Shiny Things

  • Reader Comments about In Deep Waters 2
    Don't read in public unless you just don't give a damn.
  • Reader Comments about Touchwood
    One of the few books about a older woman with a younger woman. Both sensitive and serious as well as filled with humor.
