Heather Day Gilbert
“When he leaned in to kiss me, the future swirled before me, bright as sunlight on creek water.”
Heather Day Gilbert, Miranda Warning

Amanda Elliot
“Chef Kel, your spoon bread and trumpet mushrooms were so rich you almost didn't need to add those shavings of ham on top," Maz said, then added a hearty laugh. "Though I'm sure glad you did. Almost as glad as I was for those bracingly vinegary sumac-pickled onions in the mix. They kept the dish from being over-the-top rich.”
Amanda Elliot, Sadie on a Plate
