True Confessions about Made-Up Things
Karin has named several books after songs, including Substitute for Love (Madonna), Stepping Stone (Duffy), Unforgettable (Nat King Cole), Wild Things (Cris Williamson) and The Kiss that Counted (Catie Curtis).
The Queen of Cups Bookstore (In Every Port) is entirely fictional. The experience of a young closeted woman visiting an out and proud women’s bookstore for the first time – not quite so fictional.
Even bitches have back stories. That was the singular thought that made Karin realize that mean girl Jennifer Lamont from Stepping Stone had a story to tell and a path to redemption in Captain of Industry.
