The Return of Alex Avrio

Hello everyone.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog. It stood here all alone gathering dust, like a great ancient city slowly being covered by the mighty jungle. So it’s time to grab those garden pruners and try and rediscover the mysteries and wonders that lay hidden in the depths of that jungle.
 
Fans, friends and certain family members have been wondering where I’ve disappeared to and w Read more of this blog post »

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

“War is not an art, boy. Send a hundred men over a hill and know that they won’t make it. Hold a drummer boy, cut open from groin to neck, guts spilling out as he cries for his mother, telling him it’s going to be all right. Make him believe you. Be his commanding officer, his god. Let him let his guard down and be kind enough to snap his neck. War is butchery. And I am the better butcher.”
Alex Avrio, The Alchemist's Box

“When you fall into the gutter you tell yourself that you can climb out. Then you notice that you’re covered in filth but you still think that you can get out. But the smell seeps into your soul and is always there with you. All you need is someone else to look at you differently, talk to you like you’re someone that matters and extend a hand. Only then can you climb into the gutter.”
Alex Avrio, The Alchemist's Box

“I’m glad that this team has a woman for a leader,” Onoria finally said. Regina didn’t quite know how to reply. “I’m fed up with men in charge not knowing what they’re talking about.” Onoria turned towards Regina. “Aren’t you?”
“I don’t like people in charge that don’t know what they’re doing, male or female,” Regina said.”
Alex Avrio, The Alchemist's Box
