After graduating from high school in Illinois, she ventured west in a serious search for acceptable weather, eventually settling in Honolulu. She attended college and worked as an advertising copywriter.

While I think Mr. King tends to overwrite, and this book has way too many explanations and convenient ways to deal with the paradoxes that are inherent in time travel, his story-telling skills are still remarkable. As much as I intended to not enjoy...more
A Parliament of Crows by Alan M. Clark
A Parliament of Crows
by Alan M. Clark (Goodreads Author)
This is an extreme case of sibling dysfunction, expertly told by Alan Clark. Three sisters, at once rivals and co-dependent, encourage each other in their lawlessness. Very creepy, yet a satisfying read.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.”
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation... even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.”
― —Great Law of the Iroquois
