Rock Star: Coda, by Karin Bishop

A sequel to “Rock Star”, by Jennifer White

This is my continuation of the characters and plot created by Jennifer White in "Rock Star". Hopefully you have read the original story with the link provided in my previous post. If not, this Coda will make no sense. “Rock Star: Coda” begins at the end of “Rock Star”.

Karin Bishop interview finally posted!

Submitted by on

Last week I posted that "Bending the Bookshelf" (http://bibrary.blogspot.com) would feature an interview of sorts, a "Guest Post", culled from some correspondence back and forth between the editors and myself. It has appeared today, Wednesday the 19th. It's a compilation of some Q&A from my emails and is followed by a brief listing of my current books, with little explanations. Some of them should be familiar to BCTS readers. I only hope that I don't sound like an egotistical goof or pompous windbag–or no more than usual!

Karin Bishop interview on Bending the Bookshelf

Submitted by on

My book "Fool Moon" received a review from "Bending the Bookshelf" (http://bibrary.blogspot.com/2012/06/review-fool-moon-by-kari...) in June. There was some correspondence back and forth and apparently this Monday, September 17th, I'm having an interview, of sorts, to be posted on the main site (http://bibrary.blogspot.com/). It's a compilation of some Q&A from my emails and I can only hope I don't sound like an egotistical goof.

Well, no more than usual ...

How Girls and Women Really Speak (with link, below)

Submitted by on

Like many BCTS authors, I work hardest at making my characters' dialogue sound real and unique to each character. Sometimes readers call me on the carpet, the usual complaint being that "real people don't talk that way". I believe they do; I constantly eavesdrop --especially at malls and schools--and listen critically to the word-choice and sentence structure and the general flow of real people speaking.

Karin Bishop BCTS stories as ebooks

Submitted by on

Some readers of my stories on BCTS have asked that they be converted to ebook formats for Kindle, iPads, and so on. I'm touched that they like the stories so much that they want permanent copies on their ereaders!

My plan was to price them at the minimum, 99 cents, since you've read them already. However, Amazon will only the minimum price to be $2.99, but all

An Obvious Girl - Part 1 of 7

Submitted by on

Recently I blew the dust from this very early story and was happy to get reacquainted with the Mendoza family. Please note: I do not speak Spanish, but was helped by a friend from Málaga, Spain, who lived for a time in Buenos Aires. Any errors in translation or idioms were probably typos on my part and not necessarily her fault!

"Fool Moon" Reviewed and Revised

Submitted by on

My ebook "Fool Moon" has just been reviewed at Bibrary.com as well as three 5-star reviews at Amazon! Coincidentally, at the same time it was reviewed, I was already doing a fine-tuning on the book that answered some readers' questions, and the New and Improved is now available, as all my ebooks are, at Amazon, Lulu, and Smashwords, as well as mostly available at Barnes Noble and iBookstore.

"You're Too Young To Know ..."

Submitted by on

Last night on TV, Dancing With The Stars featured a young ballerina. Born in dire circumstances in Sierra Leone, West Africa, she was adopted and arrived in the US, diseased and scarred by her young life. But she wanted to become a dancer, her mother said. The girl has trained all of her life and eventually received a scholarship to the American Ballet Theatre and there she was, dancing on national television.

Did her parents tell her, “You’re too young to know that you want to be a dancer”?

Karin Bishop's "Role Of A Lifetime" on Kindle

Submitted by on

My new book, "Role Of A Lifetime", should be available at Amazon in the next few hours. They've assured me the glitches I saw in the preview aren't there, so I have to trust them.

And trust you! For those of you who commented and wrote me that you prefer Kindle versions, please let me know if your copy is okay. If you've read my other books, you have them for comparison, for formatting, table of contents, and so on. The general look of the thing. If there's anything amiss, I'll fix it.
