Jessica L Padilla
“How do we do this? Do I have to bite you?" I ask, squirming uncomfortably at the thought of doing so.

"Why, do you want to? If so, by all means go right ahead. I doubt I'd mind much," he laughs. "No, no biting. You watch too many movies.”
Jessa L. Gilbert, Origins

Tess Kincaid
“I love how words travel through time; across space and time like little comets, their various meanings burning off like tails behind them.”
Tess Kincaid, Pechewa: An American Odyssey
