World War Woos, Recording Woes, and a New Start

Hello again from Sydney, where the rain has finally started to abate. Today is the first truly sunny day in a long while, and I celebrated with a walk this morning along the river nearby. It’s amazing how much a blue sky lifts the spirits!

It's been a while since I've posted - I think life has been a little crazy the last couple of years for everyone, but I feel like I'm starting to settle into so

Quotes by Samantha Grosser (?)

“her spirit began to falter, caught between two worlds.”
― Samantha Grosser, Shakespeare's Witch

0 likes

“She was aware of it all, a place of magic even in the silent evening dark, and she allowed her breathing to soften, opening herself up to the promise of the night. Then, when she sensed that the others were ready behind her, she turned around to face them. A single candle flickered lightly on the small table they had placed centre stage,”
― Samantha Grosser, Shakespeare's Witch

“When does infidelity begin, Rachel wondered as she crossed the park at lunch time on her way for the afternoon shift at work. Does it start with a word? A look? A touch? When does it become too late to remain a faithful wife?”
― Samantha Grosser, The Officer's Affair
