There were certain things, learned so young and remembered so deep that they felt like little stones in the center of her mind.
darkness shadow his-smile
Even in the darkness, his smile threw shadows.
beautiful wish tilt
My only wish is that we leave room for hope. There is good and bad in all things. We find what we expect to find. We see what we expect to see. I have learned that if I tilt my head just right and squint, the world outside is beautiful. The future is bright. There are good things to come.
media people use
I use social media not to ask new people to like my stuff. I use social media to connect with that one reader who likes my stuff.

Living frugally is one of the best things an author can do to prepare for their career.

There are two competing philosophies in Wool: one is that people have to live under an iron thumb in order to survive, and the other one is that everyone should live completely freely and happily and everything will sort itself out.

Fiction challenges us and works its miracles by placing us in the skin of another human being and teaching us empathy.
stars ocean kissing
The best kisses in the world take place at night, in the ocean, with two naked bodies coiled around one another, only the stars to keep them company.
