About Karpov Kinrade

I was born with ink in my veins and magic in my heart. I've hit some lists (USA TODAY bestseller, top 10 in all of Amazon, iBooks, and B&N, things like that). Mostly I play with words, think about words and write down lots of words, hoping some of them make exciting stories.

A Gathering of Tales: The launch of a short story subscription experience!

Fast, Free and Flawless: Readers Can't Have it All

The nature of the publishing industry is in a constant state of flux, which is awesome for writers in many ways. It means we have more options than ever for getting our work published. But, there are also downsides. Lately, I'm seeing more and more reviews (on a variety of books on Amazon) where readers [...]

Are Romance Novels Realistic? One Romance Author's Take

Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back. My dad explained the mechanics of this popular plot device to me when I was a kid. He said every movie ever made followed it. While I'm sure that's not true of EVERY movie (The Hobbit?), it's pretty much true of every romance novel. So [...]
