The world conspires to keep women apart. To let their sacred knowledge disappear into the cracks between them. To keep them suspicious of their own strength. To reward them if they make enemies of each other. "Nomisma's Lament" from Wind in Her Hair, A Coin of Love Romance. Cover image of blonde 1950s woman in cat's eye sunglasses driving a fancy car.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Sugar and Fondant
    Fondant is hard to make and even if Karin wanted to make it, she lacks the patience and artistry to pull it off. Words are less dangerous for everyone involved. Hence Sugar and its vicarious cake making.
