Enlightenment in Libraries
I’m super amazed how libraries have supported my little novel. There are multiple library databases, and you can find the libraries that carry Enlightenment through Link+ and World Cat.
I have to admit, I screamed like a banshee when discovering on WorldCat that the University of Michigan and Ohio State Libraries picked up Enlightenment. Nothing like sports rivals agreeing on my world of vampires!

“You must think I don’t know what’s keeping you up at night. You must think we’re so different. But I know. Everyone knows despair. Isn’t that why people jump off bridges or drown themselves? Anything, really, to escape being human.”

“...I have often wondered why we do it. Uproot ourselves, I mean. Why we feel the need to travel and wander into strange soil. Why we can't leave things alone. It must be the world calling to us. After all, they say it had been one giant continent once. Maybe this is why we feel drawn to each other, to the lands we cannot see. We think of new places as opportunities to build new lives, but all are we're really doing is trying to find our way back.”
