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.

Random Shiny Things

  • Had Me at “The Long Kiss Goodnight is a Christmas Movie”
    A great job of blending humor with the realities of life, like smeared makeup when you want to be sexy and limbs that fall asleep...
  • Cowboys and Kisses Reviewed at Jude in the Stars
    This is a very interesting book, as much for the story as because of who wrote it. There’s not a single second of doubt that this is a Kallmaker book. Her style is everywhere.
