  • Fair Warning
    Karin writes about women’s feelings, the journeys our hearts make as we go through life, how we relate to our colleagues, our lovers, our family, and how we act and react to the vagaries of fate. Anyone who thinks these topics somehow add up to “trash” should probably keep well away from her.

Featured Published Things
