Another Signed Book Giveaway
Running another signed book giveaway for my new novel THIS LITTLE LIGHT!
It's an allegory, set just a few years into the future, in a society ruled by religious corruption where two innocent young girls are accused of planting a bomb at a Purity Ball and have to go on the run. Armed mobs, puffed up with righteousness and blazing with moral indignation, mobilize forces to hunt the girls down. Rory M Read more of this blog post »

“I feel, holding books, accommodating their weight and breathing their dust, an abiding love. I trust them, in a way that I can't trust my computer, though I couldn't do without it. Books are matter. My books matter. What would I have done through these years without the library and all its lovely books?”

“I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to the beguiling moon. I’ve never used an airplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that. I’ve never driven a car. Or slept through the night. Never a private talk. Or a solo walk. I’ve never climbed a tree. Or faded into a crowd. So many things I’ve never done, but oh, how I’ve been loved. And, if such things were to be, I’d live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially.”
