Just a quick post to let y'all know that my blog is migrating to my website.

Quotes by K.B. Hoyle (?)

“Most boys her age spent half their free time playing video games, but Tellius spent all of his in adult pursuits like fighting, managing, ruling, and delegating, and it showed. If she’d begun to think he was attractive last year, she now wondered how she ever could have found him anything but attractive. As she took in his square jaw, straight aristocratic nose, intense green-flecked eyes, and that ever-present smattering of freckles, Darcy felt her ears grow warm. She looked down at the flagstones.
Darcey Pennington”

“There is always hope,” she said. “Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.”

“True love is born of time and trials, and it is rarely caught up in feelings.”
