I will keep this site up and active, so all posts will remain archived and available, but all new posts from t Read more of this blog post »

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.”
