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.

Featured Published Things

  • book cover chagall windows stained glass and candle flame unbeliever by Karin Kallmaker Unbeliever - Love is Magic is Love - eBook $3.99

Random Shiny Things

  • Maybe Next Time at Midwest Review of Books
    Compelling story of redemption, healing and surviving.
  • Painted Moon at the Lesbian Review of Books
    Painted Moon is a classic that could very well become the next Curious Wine... [It] has the compelling storyline and strong writing that will deservedly reinforce the popularity of the romance genre.
