Pleasing Praise

As a writer of alternate historical fiction, my desire is that the historical part remains as accurate and believable as possible. Otherwise, what is the point of anchoring a story within true events?
So I was delighted to receive the following review from Fred E Ray, who has had several non-fiction titles published dealing with warfare in Classical Greece. I had actually drawn on Ray's work in my Read more of this blog post »

Timothy’s Quotes

“It doesn't matter what people call you unless they call you pigeon pie and eat you up.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“She blinked and kissed me abruptly, somewhere between mouth and cheek. It was an inaccuracy I didn't try to correct either way. I turned away before I could see if there were going to be any tears and started for the doors at the far end of the hall. I looked back once, as I was mounting the steps. Ortega was still standing there, arms wrapped around herself, watching me leave. In the stormlight, it was too far away to see her face clearly.

For a moment something ached in me, something so deep-rooted that I knew to tear it out would be to undo the essence of what held me together. The feeling rose and splashed like the rain behind my eyes, swelling as the drumming on the roof panels grew and the glass ran with water.”
― Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon
