Quotes by Karen Perkins (?)

“Sedition and treason? Surely it must be one or the other, Reginald. Committing treason or inciting others to commit treason. King Henry would know that you cannot charge me with both. Which tells me that you and your friends are here on your own recognisance, perhaps to find favour with Henry, hmm?”
― Karen Perkins, Knight of Betrayal: A Medieval Timeslip Haunting

“What do you do?’ I asked, nosey as ever – an essential attribute for a writer.”
― Karen Perkins, ThoresCross
