Good short story, with a nice pwp element to it. I liked the characters and how their relationship developed. Kim's writing is always good and she can create scenarios that capture so much emotion and detail in a few words. - Lyn B - Apr-09-2011

Blown Away by Kim Baldwin     
Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Romance (alt) | Short Story - 30 pages | Finished | May-04
Cast: Gable, Erin
Honors/Awards:  #59 in 2004    
Part 1 of the Gable and Erin Series
Series List: Blown Away, Fire and Ice, Second Wind
A muggy spring day in Michigan unleashes a fury of tornados. Two women are in the path of one of them: volunteer firefighter Gable McCoy and teacher Erin Richards.
This is by far the best of Kim Baldwin's work. The action scenes are right out of the movies. I felt the tension as the leads waited out the dark night in the tornado's aftermath. But it was the tension between Erin and Gable that stayed with me for days after I read the story. The sexual tension kept me on pins and needles! It hit way to close to home! For anyone who has wondered if their "good friend" feels the same way they do... this story will bring back wonderful memories.Thanks Kim, - L. Karol - Aug 6th, 2004   

I really enjoyed this story. It had a little bit of everything in it. I loved how the relationship between Erin and Gable grew from that first evening. Beautifully written, it's well worth reading. - Lyn B - Mar-20-2011   

Sweet sweet story of love found. - Anon - May-27-2011

Part 2 of the Gable and Erin Series
Series List: Blown Away, Fire and Ice, Second Wind
In this sequel to "Blown Away," volunteer firefighters Gable McCoy and Erin Richards face new perils on the job and in their relationship.
I liked this sequel. Seeing how the relationship between Erin and Gable had developed was great. I like the realism that Kim Baldwin gets into her characters and their relationships. This is very well written and the author packs story with so much tension and emotion that this story feels much longer than it actually is. Well worth reading. - Lyn B - Mar-20-2011

Whitewater Rendezvous by Kim Baldwin     
Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Romance (alt) | Short Story - 33 pages | Finished | Apr-04
Cast: Kate, Annie, Coop, Marsha, Amy, Yancey
Honors/Awards:  #85 in 2004     Top-25 #1.    
Forced together during a wilderness adventure on a remote Canadian river, a shy and solitary kayak guide does everything she can to fight her inexplicable attraction to one of her clientsła workaholic redhead who seems to invite disaster wherever she goes.
Nice story but could have been better if Kim had taken more time to give it more body. It has potential to become a much better story if the characters are given more depth, there is more intrigue and the action is more intense. But I suppose she wanted to just keep it short. Pity though.Still, It's just right to read in bed just before you go to sleep. It's fun, pleasant, not too exciting or "angstfull" to give you bad dreams and short enough to finish before lights out.Restfull. - letterwolf - Apr 20th, 2004   

Loved the short story. Can't wait for the book! - Anonymous - Mar-24-2006   

I read this not long ago and loved it. The story builds so well and draws you in and the ending is lovely. Well worth reading as all Kim Balwin's work is. Highly recommended. - Lyn B - Feb-11-2011   

I really enjoyed this story - although I wished the ending had been a little bit longer. - Ricky - Feb-26-2012

Whitewater Rendezvous, which is now available from Starcrossed Productions http://www.scp-inc.biz/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=626 and Bella Books. http://www.bellabooks.com/index.htm . The novel is set in Alaska and is very loosely based on a short story I posted here in 2004 by the same name, which made #1 on the list and was #85 on the top 100 list that year.

My second book, Force of Nature, was also based on a couple of stories posted here: Blown Away and Fire and Ice, the latter of which also made #1.

Also, I will be at the GCLS Convention in Atlanta in a couple of weeks, and I'll be attending the York Lesbian Arts Festival in October. Hope to meet some of you at the one or both of the events!

I love hearing from readers: my email is baldwinkim@gmail.com and my website is at www.geocities.com/woodsbard My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have encouraged and supported my writing efforts.

Kim
