“ I recall his somber eyes during that last, private conversation. His eyes and his words, far too wise for a boy of ten: only time will tell, Lia.
In the end, I suppose it will.”
Michelle Zink, Prophecy of the Sisters

“I love you anyway, Lia," he calls after me. "Until time tells, I mean."
I turn to him and smile, loving him more in this moment than any other. "Until time tells, then, Henry, and beyond. I love you as well.”
Michelle Zink, Prophecy of the Sisters

“I shake my head. "Remember, Mother. There are no mistakes."
She smiles through her tears, leaning in to kiss my cheek "No mistakes, my angel.”
Michelle Zink, Prophecy of the Sisters

Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I'm glad you find my blog worthwhile. I always appreciate comments and feedback. I don't think there's such a thing as too many comments!

Melissa Hi Michelle,

Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. Your blogs are always deep, thought provoking, intriguing and fun. Many things you bring that would probably never have crossed my path without seeing them on your profile. I try to not comment too much so I don't overload your notifications, but the "Philadelphia Experiment" was too good to not comment on! Thank you for sharing so much!

Melanie Thanks so much for the friendship =)

Your writing style is so amazing. I just got lost in the beautiful but deadly world you created. I felt for the characters and felt like I was Lia. Lia was strong and was for more than intelligent. I loved Circle of Fire and the way you wrapped everything up.

I certainly will be reading your other and future books.

Thank you so much, Xia. I really wanted to do justice to Lia and Alice and to give you a conclusion that would mean something and stay with you. It means so much to me to hear that you think I've done that!

And on another note, I just wrote out a bookplate to you today. Thanks again for all your support.
