Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – How was Substitute for Love inspired by Dick?
    The inspiration for the character of Reyna Putnam in Substitute for Love came when Karin watched then candidate Cheney dance around the issues of LGBT rights as if his own daughter's life wouldn't have been improved had he cared enough to spend any of his political capital on her. Who wants to be that guy's flesh-and-blood? What is the price when your needs conflict with his plans?

Random Shiny Things

  • Captain of Industry at Lambda Literary Review
    Captain of Industry is subtle and engaging, a Kallmaker love story with the kind of angst to which we can probably all relate.
  • Just Like That at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
    If you’re at all into reinterpretations of classic literature or have been wondering what Karin Kallmaker’s writing is like, I highly recommend Just Like That.
