Lidia Longorio
“Elijah greeted the new family of customers, “Hello.
Welcome to Dean’s Diner!” he said with a classic
customer service smile. Sometimes he thought he
repeated that phrase more than his own name.”
― Lidia Longorio, Death's Rattle

Derek Landy
“He could wear hats. He could wear an assortment of hats of different shapes and styles. Boater hats, cowboy hats, bowler hats. The list went on. Pork-pie hats, bucket hats, trillbies and panamas. Top hats, straw hats, trapper hats. Wide brim narrow brim, stingy brim. He could wear a fez. Fezzes were cool. Hadn't someone once said that fezzes were cool? He was pretty aur ether had. And they were. They were cool.”
― Derek Landy, Kingdom of the Wicked
