Usually I forced the characters to do something they didn't want to do, and I have to look harder at their motivations to see how they would actually influence the plot.(less)

So many questions and conflicts remained unsolved, Ardis and Wendel had to come back and work on them together. Plus I wanted more zeppelins. And Nikola Tesla.(less)

“He looks sexy in a black army jacket - brass buttons and braids - over a white shirt.
I have to admit, he's got style. I can only hope it's not gay style.”
Karen Kincy, Other

“I prefer not to be called 'cute' or 'little,' thank you very much." He grins again. "I should get a T-shirt that says that.”
Karen Kincy, Other

“I always find grocery stores surreal. Fluorescent lights buzzing overhead, wide aisles tempting me to run, vivid ads tugging my gaze this way and that. It seems so far removed from actually eating. Sometimes I have a strange impulse to climb shelves or rip open packaging and taste everything. But I mustn't succumb to pooka mischief.”
Karen Kincy

Mark Twain

“Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.”
Benjamin Franklin Wade

“As for literary criticism in general: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel or a play or a poem is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split.”
kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage

“An aroma more heavenly than a flight of angels trickled on the breeze. "Coffee!" He breathed the word like a prayer.”

J.S. Bailey Hello, Karen! Thank you for accepting my friend request! I was wondering if you could send out a few book recommendations for my soon-to-be-released novel "The Land Beyond the Portal." (As you well know; Goodreads does not allow us authors to recommend our own books, which really stinks, in my opinion.)

Thanks,
~J. S. Bailey

P.S. Who are some of your favorite authors?The Land Beyond the Portal


Cheryl Landmark Thanks for accepting my friend request, Karen.


William O'Brien Hi Karen - Thank you for your friendship.

Please visit my website http://www.peteradarkenedfairytale.co.uk

Expected release date late Jan.

Best wishes, William

Kelly Karen,
Thanks for adding me, it was very kind of you. And I am not usually a consumer of YA fiction, but your novel is one that I would make an exception to since I grew up in a family that believed in phookas and faeries. Makes it easier to imagine scenarios in writing, but harder in a social circle that have their ankles buried in cemented reality.

Kel

Hey! Long time, no see. Are you still around Evergreen? I'm graduating next year with an emphasis in linguistics/literature. My debut novel, OTHER, comes out the month afterward, too. How about you?
