Quotes by John Moore (?)

“It doesn't look like a sorceress castle", said Roland.
"I was expecting something more sinister. You know, a round store tower with a single gleaming red window. This place makes me think of hot chocolate and gingerbread."
"maybe this is just his vacation home", said Terry.”
― John Moore, A Fate Worse Than Dragons

“Okey." Charming leaned back and rocked the chair on two legs. "Let's asses the situation. We've got a fourteen-fot green-spiked dragon, male, possible in molt, chipped upper-left fang missing one claw on the right hind foot, three claws each on the other foots, chested head, dorsal ridge, apparently healthy, containintly vicios. Presently aspleep in a confined space."
"um," said Ann, "That's about the way I see it too.”
― John Moore, Slay and Rescue
