Karin Kallmaker 02/02/2015 Short Stories

The Bella Singles store has added one of my short stories for instant download. It was originally released in the Naiad Press anthology Lady Be Good. Given the dull weather facing much of North America, I hope it brightens your day!

Why There Should Not Be Special Rules for Lesfic Book Reviews

Karin Kallmaker 01/13/2015 Awards and Reviews, Business of Books, Craft of Writing 5 Comments

Authors in lesbian fiction are not able to withstand customary, ongoing criticism like writers in other genres?

No Rage Stalking Here – Why I Welcome Critical Reviews

Karin Kallmaker 11/07/2014 Awards and Reviews, Craft of Writing 9 Comments

Authors behaving badly. Readers retaliating. This is why we can’t have nice things? Like a viable feedback loop that helps writers grow and readers get better books for their money?

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.

“Women’s Fiction” – A Sign or an Answer to Sexism in the Book Industry?

Karin Kallmaker 05/17/2014 Business of Books 1 Comment

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia: Time and Language
    When Karin wrote both Roller Coaster and Car Pool, the spelling of both phrases was as titled - two separate words. Time passes. Karin feels it is completely inappropriate that both are now one word: rollercoaster and carpool. Eww.

Featured Published Things

Random Shiny Things

  • Reader Comments about Just Like That
    It wasn't that long ago I thought romance novels had nothing to offer a sophisticated reader. I was wrong...
  • Wonderful Sense of Humour – Wind in Her Hair
    I love the interactions between Irene and the coin which for an ‘inanimate’ object has a wonderful sense of humour.
