The Aspie Author

“It was like there was a code that everyone knew but me, and they all hated me for not being able to puzzle it out.”
― Ivelisse Housman, Unseelie

“Knowledge is never wasted, my dear. No matter how obscure or difficult...or confusing. It always serves to enrich our lives, if we let it, and in ways we can rarely anticipate.”
― Laurie Forest, The Iron Flower

“OUT. CUT IT ALL OUT. Cut out my father. Cut out my mother. Cut out missing Ellis. Cut out the man in the underpass, cut out Fucking Frank, the men downstairs; the people on the street with too many people inside them, cut out hungry, and sad and tired, and being nobody and unpretty and unloved, just cut it all out, get smaller and smaller until I was nothing.”
― Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

“For changelings, the not-quite-human-but-definitely-not-faerie in-betweens, walking among mortals is less of a novelty. We grow up with humans, hated for being almost like them but not enough. Most of us find our way back to the faerie realms by adulthood.”
― Ivelisse Housman, Unseelie
