The Sounds of Silence
Today I have the honor of guest blogging at Naked Authors, home to a stellar group of mystery writers: Ridley Pearson, Jacqueline Winspear, Paul Levine, James O. Born, Cornelia Read and my fabulous friend, Patricia Smiley, who invited me to share my thoughts on the role of silence in a writer's life:

| This is one of those books that has been on my "to read" list for years. Finally, I did it! And I'm very glad I did so at this period in time. Lately I've read a few books about dystopian futures, and all through the reading I could feel their clever ...more | |

“The one thing to remember about an adventure is that if it turns out the way you expect it to, it has not been an adventure at all.”

“There is unequaled satisfaction in composing words on a blank page, sealing them in an envelope, writing an address in my own messy hand, adding a stamp, walking it to the mailbox, and raising the flag. It's like preparing a gift, and I feel like I receive one when a letter arrives....”

“...when we were walking through Angkor War, I found myself wondering about what is lost when one culture is systematically annihilated so another can thrive in the name of progress. Think about it, what might have happened if Cambodia hadn't eventually been taken over by Siam and then France - what the Cambodians could offer the world if they're given the opportunity to follow through with what they're meant to become.”

“When Angkorian society began, Paris and London were not much more than elaborate villages. Europe was crawling with barbarians, and here were the Khmer engineering sophisticated irrigation systems and constructing the biggest temple in the world.”

“More than any expert Irene had met, Mr. Simms mastered the intricacies of dealing in art. He understood an object's worth, not solely its dollar value but how that value could be manipulated into emotional currency.”

“Even if you don't find what you think you're looking for, darling, it's the going out and looking for it that counts.”
