Quotes by Anthony Paull (?)

“Today, love came knocking at my window. To share with dad such a confusing, yet wonderful occasion would be great. Still, I keep this to myself. Who knows? In the future maybe dad and I can share more than silence but not until dad allows love to knock for me at the front door.”

Awesome! I would love to hear your thoughts on September Girls. I've heard a lot of people really have issues with it. I thought it was wonderful and odd in the best way.

I just read, "The Man I Love, the Man I Left." What an amazingly beautiful story! I love the poetic way you have with words. Simply gorgeous writing! I started the story with a lump in my throat, fearing for your speaker, and I ended up in tears by the end.

I also bought September Girls. I'm going to start that one soon. Now that I'm finished with school, for the time being, I have time to read some excellent selections!
