Quotations: "The pleasure of seeing your book in print is incredible. But the very best thing is when someone truly loves your story. Writing can be lonely and frustrating, but I feel so so lucky to be doing it as a job."

"We are like ghosts whispering around the edges of each other's lives. Or perhaps it's more like a cruel farce with one of us entering the stage, just as the other leaves."
