Not really THAT sad. This blog has been a good thing for mefor quite a few years. I’ve been blogging here since January 2010 on my writingjourney. It’s been a long one, that’s for sure. I queried forever, and ended upgetting 15 novels published, soon to be 16. Two are out of print, but about togo back into print, thanks to Untreed Reads picking them up.

Quotes by Kaye George  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There has always been the wind.
Since our planet began to turn, there has been the wind. This ball of dirt and fire and water started to spin. The air stirred. And Earth's time began.
But the beginnings of the wind are lost in the mists of time. The wind blew before the Appian Way wended through Rome. It blew before the Parthenon crowned Athens. Before pyramids sprang up in Egypt.
Before the Mayans. Before the Incas.
Before Man.”
Kaye George, Death in the Time of Ice

“Imogene Duckworthy did not like pigs. She was fairly fond of cattle, having grown up surrounded by them. She hadn't been around pigs much. In fact, this was the first time she'd ever driven toward a pig farm.”
Kaye George, Smoke

“That's it, Uncle Huey!" Imogene Duckworthy whipped off her apron and flung it onto the slick, stainless steel counter. "I quit!" If only her voice didn’t sound so young.”
Kaye George, Choke

“Immy knocked on his open door. "Mr. Mallett?"
The look on his narrow face was pained. "What's with the Mr. Mallett? When you don't call me Mike, it's usually trouble.”
Kaye George, Broke

“There was that sound again--snap, then a footfall. She tried to whirl around as a dark form--Dear God--sprang with a splash from the darkness--grabbed her from behind, shoved her under the water.”
Kaye George, Eine Kleine Murder
