Book cover for Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War
I sometimes felt my compassion for fellow human beings leaking out of me like oil leaving an engine, so slow it was barely evident and yet dripping with enough regularity that I knew the problem was severe in nature.

Kahlil Gibran
“The earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Eliza Crewe
“What a foolish thing, the human heart, being both fragile and reckless. No wonder we spend such an inordinate amount of time in pain.”
Eliza Crewe, Crushed

Paullina Simons
“Tania, I was spellbound by you from the first moment I saw you. There I was, living my dissolute life, and war had just started. My entire base was in disarray, people were running around, closing accounts, taking money out, grabbing food out of stores, buying up the entire Gostiny Dvor, volunteering for the army, sending their kids to camp—” He broke off. “And in the middle of my chaos, there was you!” Alexander whispered passionately. “You were sitting alone on this bench, impossibly young, breathtakingly blonde and lovely, and you were eating ice cream with such abandon, such pleasure, such mystical delight that I could not believe my eyes. As if there were nothing else in the world on that summer Sunday.”
Paullina Simons, The Bronze Horseman

Eliza Crewe
“Some might call me a “tease”, but don’t believe it. “Tease” implies that I owe him something, that I should feel guilty. As if my flirtation is forced on him and he merely tolerates it for an eventual pay-out. That’s bullshit. We both have goals in our little game; why should his goal (sex) take priority over mine (to mess with his head)? Is it because he’s a man?
In that case I must object on principle. Superhero Meda establishing gender-equality one almost-kiss at a time!”
Eliza Crewe, Crushed

“What do you say to your best friend when you stand at the gates of the gates of hell? Nothing. If it’s your best friend, she already knows.”
