Book cover for Unburnt: a speculative firefighter novella
“Who says you gotta do anything with a talent? Your abilities don’t have to define you. Cramming your whole entire self into a tiny box isn’t healthy.

“Women's history does not need to be exceptional to be relevant.”
Nicola Clark, The Waiting Game: The Untold Story of the Women Who Served the Tudor Queens

N.K. Jemisin
“Power is not a thing that can be given.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Awakened Kingdom

Nora Roberts
“But sometimes you know one thing and feel another.”
Nora Roberts, The Last Boyfriend

Stephanie Lehmann
“His ridiculous Victorian ideas reminded me that my sense of worthlessness was a reasonable response to a society bent on limiting the sphere of women.”
Stephanie Lehmann, Astor Place Vintage

“Much of women’s history leans on a trope of ‘exceptional’ women: ‘girlbosses’ who achieved incredible things against the impossibly patriarchal odds of their day. Such women did, of course, exist, and we should celebrate them. But we could easily describe all women in the past in this way. All of the women in The Waiting Game existed close to the centre of power and acted in ways that influenced the broader historical narrative. All occasionally stepped outside the boundaries that society allegedly dictated for their sex.”
Nicola Clark, The Waiting Game: The Untold Story of the Women Who Served the Tudor Queens: A History
