Her debut novel, The Spaces Between Us (2025), a psychological romance infused with magical realism, invites readers into a world where dreams and reality converge. Through dream symbolism and echoes of the past, higher truths unfold within moments of reflection and insight. Like the counsel of a protective friend, the narrative provides guidance in the waking world.

The From Meg to Light series celebrates resilience, love, and the enduring human spirit in the face of broken promises, soul encounters, and unfading visions. Her forthcoming works include #0.5 A Little Over a Year and #2 The Shadows Behind Us, furthering the series’ exploration of

Trying to escape a middle-age induced existential crisis unscathed and as cheaply as possible. I hope I entertain people or bring them something useful while I am at it. (less)

Bea27x
Bea27x is on page 326 of 433 of Seek the Traitor's Son: Nothing has changed, he tells himself. However Rava feels, whatever reason she had for bringing him to House Vidar—the outcome is the same. He’s here. He’s enduring his time in this house the same way he was yesterday and the day before. Nothing has changed, nothing has changed.

I feel sick about what has been done to him in that place. What she has done to him.

Moché shared a note and highlight from
The Kurdish Bike by Alesa Lightbourne
“I hate doing it. And I never suggest it. Never. I wait until a mother or grandmother comes to me and begs. I know how long and hard she has weighed this decision, and I must respect it. After all, it’s safer for me to do it than a stranger with less skill and care.”

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

“You are worth more to me than my own life. You make me grow, not disintegrate or rot. There is more value in growth than we normally give it. Growth is beautiful. You make me more beautiful. Could I have become more without you when I could have been simply nothing?”
Ila perey, The Spaces between us: Even in madness lies pockets of clarity

“The beauty of the soul is not the same as that of the body. One is immortal, the other is not. One can stand the test of time while the other fades. Love imparts wisdom and learning. In this way, it creates order, harmony and promotes an overall good. Love is the spark that can make things immortal.”
“Like what?” I ask in disbelief.
“Inventions, virtues, ideas, heroic and rebellious actions, art, social and distributive justice, laws, literature, music, science, and any other transformations towards the creation of a better world.”
Ila Perey, The Spaces between us: Even in madness lies pockets of clarity

“Sometimes, Will, he said, you seem very close.”
Cassandra Clare, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

“I don’t mean to brag. I’m just saying that if they made a book of hot Shadowhunters, my illustration would be on every page,” Jace said serenely.”
Cassandra Clare, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

“Ah yes.” Lily brightened. “I’m very curious to see how the hottest Shadowhunter in the world is doing.” “I’m great,” said Jace. Lily tapped her foot. “Nobody’s talking about you, Jason. Have you heard the phrase ‘tall, dark, and handsome’?”
Cassandra Clare, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

“I have Tessa, so I have the world.”
Cassandra Clare, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

“Of course Tessa’s fine,” said Lily. “You do realize she gets to go to the Jem-nasium anytime she wants?”
