Karin Bishop started writing as a child, and won her first national writing award in sixth grade. She edited and wrote for her high school and college creative writing magazines, but then life got in the way and she didn’t write fiction for years—she wrote for hire. Magazine articles (in music and travel), advertising copy, corporate newsletters and software manuals paid the bills. She was always interested in the discovery of a person’s true nature and sexual identity, and began exploring different genres and structures to tell those important stories.
