Karin Kallmaker 08/15/2021 Book News, Simply the Best 6 Comments

I sponge up quips and quotes from movies and then they come back out at odd times. Here’s some nods and quips that made it into Simply the Best. I can’t help myself!

Cheaters are Prospering, But That’s No Excuse for Asshattery

Karin Kallmaker 03/03/2019 Business of Books 6 Comments

It’s hard not to be frustrated by the rampant cheating going on, but that’s no excuse for being an asshat to readers, reviewers, and other writers.

Heidi Cullinan nails The Mary Sue for a lazy, unresearched, hetero-only smear piece on romance writing.

Romance Novels Have Always Had an Impact on Society (reblog Christina Lauren | Bustle)

Karin Kallmaker 04/21/2015 Business of Books, Readers and Libraries

To a blog title that says romance novels are “primed” to make an impact on society, I would add “yet again.” Applauding the “new” wave of romance writing.

Lacking in Graciousness and Generosity, Part 2

Karin Kallmaker 07/31/2013 Business of Books 6 Comments

I don’t know an author who hasn’t had another author post BUY MY BOOK links on their space. Cover art, links to buy, the works. It’s rude, people.

Autocorrect and Anatomies of Typographical Errors

Karin Kallmaker 03/14/2012 Craft of Writing, Roller Coaster, Touchwood - First Edition

Is the Mainstream “Success”?

Karin Kallmaker 09/05/2006 Business of Books, Craft of Writing

Each writer has to pick her own standards for success. Someone else’s unrealistic expectations shouldn’t kill your bliss.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia: Time for Chopped!
    If you recognize a certain television cooking competition in the epilogue of Roller Coaster, you're not wrong. "Prepare a gourmet French dinner that includes haggis-in-a-can." Karin thinks that's fun. To watch.

Featured Published Things

  • Cover Simply the Best by Karin Kallmaker woman on beach wearing short black dress and carrying black evening shoes Simply the Best - Paperback $18.95

Random Shiny Things

  • Captain of Industry at Rainbow Reviews
    For as much as I thought I disliked both women for different reasons, Kallmaker sucked me in with deeper character analysis that left me cheering them both on in the last few chapters.
  • Reader Comments about In Every Port
    I love a book where the women are strong and commanding. It was a GREAT read and I couldn't put it down.
