Hi there! I’m Kay Walker, and I’m very thrilled to be here to discuss an anthology I’ve had the privilege to be a part of. Thanks so much to Kim Fielding for hosting me today! Earlier in the year, a group of writers via Bru Baker on Twitter had a conversation about …
As you may know, we’re in the middle of National Banned Books Week. You can see the list of most-challenged books here. In addition to being an author, I’m also a parent. My kids are 11 and almost-15, and they’re both avid readers. My younger one, who favors fantasies, has almost exhausted her school library’s …
Writing M/M fiction as a female author As a female writing all male characters, I’ve been asked the question why, several times. On a personal note, I have been married for 24 years, and for the majority of that time I have worked in a male dominated environment. I am also a practicing martial artist, …
I flew to Seattle this weekend for GRNW. The conference was fantastic. Got to hang out with some great people and had a lot of fun. I’m pretty sure that if she wanted to, Tracy Timmons-Gray could take over the world. I gave away a lot of unicorn ducks. But first I had to get …
Tsk tsk. Get your mind out of the gutter! As it turns out, October is a very bony month. On October 10, the 3rd book in my Bones series, Bone Dry, releases. Not only can you preorder it now, but you can preorder the paperback at 35% off through September 21. And if you’re going to GRL, you can …

I don’t really. But I was doing some cleanup in my study the other day, which means I was sifting through geological layers of magazines, children’s artwork and report cards, papers that seemed vitally important six years ago, etc. And I found these lyrics my husband and I wrote a while back. Suburban Middle-Class Blues …
I can’t believe it’s come to this. I’m blogging about exercise. When it comes to exercise, I’m generally against it. I blame my junior high PE teachers, sadists who took all the fun out of of the subject. I had to take 3 semesters of PE in college, and that was actually sort of fun–I …
I live in California’s Central Valley. It’s a long way–culturally, at least–from the hipness of the San Francisco Bay Area or the palm-trees-and-movie-stars vibe of Southern California. This area is hot and dry and conservative and poor. The bulk of the economy is agriculture-based. It’s not a part of the state most people think about much. And sometimes …
