I love words and phrases, descriptions, plot elements, and putting together the puzzle that a book becomes. I love the small details and the bigger picture. When I write, I see the book in my mind and sometimes surprise myself when I see something that I didn't expect!(less)

This review is not from me. It is actually a review of Vortex that someone emailed to me directly. I didn't want to write one of my own, so I put this one in. The rating was 5 stars.

Quotes by Bob Stegner  (?)

“The rounded, transparent covers from the growth capsules radiated a warm bluish-white light in the darkened hall, and inside each lay a naked body attached to a ghostly face. Affixed to the control panel of every capsule were lines containing air and liquid nourishment, pumping and maintaining the lives within while creating a constant hum that vibrated faintly throughout the room. The scientists shuffled amongst them. They spoke quietly and checked the ever-present dials, blinking lights and graphs, as they constantly monitored the life signs of the valuable occupants inside each chamber.”
Bob Stegner, The Chosen

“Write your "ass" off! Read! Learn! Get Better! Have fun!”
Bob Stegner

“A9, the road that Bea was traveling this early morning after leaving the Isle of Skye, was part of Scotland’s answer to Route 66. It was also a driver’s sort of road as it wound its way along the north coast of the highlands above Inverness, and this time of year was the perfect jot in time to be on it. It was early enough in the day for the sun’s rays to still break across the landscape, highlighting every tree, shrub, mountain, loch, or beach in the crisp and clear Kodachrome of late autumn, and it was also just late enough in the season for the road to be safely navigated at speeds just a bit above normal”
Bob Stegner, Black Grotto: Book II of the Alban Saga

“Write your "ass" off! Read! Learn! Get Better! Have fun!”
Bob Stegner

“Never do what you can’t undo until you’ve considered well what you can’t do once you’ve done it.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

“You are beautiful,” Tenar said in a different tone. “Listen to me, Therru. Come here. You have scars, ugly scars, because an ugly, evil thing was done to you. People see the scars. But they see you, too, and you aren’t the scars. You aren’t ugly. You aren’t evil. You are Therru, and beautiful. You are Therru who can work, and walk, and run, and dance, beautifully, in a red dress.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

“Somewhere in the bottomless night a small spark was smoldering ever so slightly, almost losing its heat, barely clinging to the oxygen molecules that provided for its insignificant existence. Then minute by minute, second by second, the flicker matured, almost imperceptibly. That glint, which had been so inconsequential seconds before, had now become an ember, an ember that continued to burn, sustained by hope and the unknown.”
