Quotes by J.A. Culican (?)

“don't think it was a coincidence that I moved next door to you when I was ten. I have a feeling our fate has been laid out for us long before we were born.”
― J.A. Culican, The Prince Returns

“Good riddance.”
― J.A. Culican, Keeper of Dragons: The Complete Series

“effort to do just that, I stood tall and looked straight ahead as I headed back down to the living room. While I walked, I made a promise to myself. I promised I would make my mom and dad proud. They had given away the last eighteen years of their lives to take care of me, to love and support me. And no matter what biology said, they were my real parents and I wouldn’t let them down! When I made it to the bottom of the stairs, I noticed everyone stood in uncomfortable silence as they waited for me. Maybe my pep talk took longer than I thought. I took my backpack from my mom and gave both my mom and dad a hug, holding each of them longer than I normally would have. Rylan and Sila as they stood by the front door waiting on me, clearly in a hurry. I wasn’t sure what to say, but maybe there was nothing left to say. So, I kept it simple”
