Starting on Substack



On the occasion, of my son Joshua's birthday this year, I’ve decided to turn my blog into a Substack. First, because I’ve become a voracious reader of Substacks, much as I used to be a voracious blog reader. I pretty much followed Rod Dreher over here and then discovered N.S. Lyons and Michael Warren Davis, and when I saw my friend Mary Ellen Barrett had jumped on board, I felt an invitation o

Quotes by Regina Doman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Every once in a while you just have to decide to do something very crazy and very right--just to dare yourself to live. I don't mean doing something stupid and destructive--just something fun and good and beautiful.”
Regina Doman, The Shadow of the Bear

“One of my heroes, G.K. Chesterton, said, "The old fairy tales endure forever. The old fairy tale makes the hero a normal human boy; it is his adventures that are startling; they startle him because he is normal." Discovering that the modern world can still contain the wonder and strangeness of a fairy tale is part of what my novels are about.”
Regina Doman

“How do you say 'bring me sausage and eggs or I'll slit your throat' in Italian?"

"Look it up in the phrase book.”
Regina Doman, Black as Night

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“The artist is a servant who is willing to be a birthgiver. In a very real sense the artist (male or female) should be like Mary who, when the angel told her that she was to bear the Messiah, was obedient to the command.

...I believe that each work of art, whether it is a work of great genius, or something very small, comes to the artist and says, "Here I am. Enflesh me. Give birth to me." And the artist either says, "My soul doth magnify the Lord," and willingly becomes the bearer of the work, or refuses; but the obedient response is not necessarily a conscious one, and not everyone has the humble, courageous obedience of Mary.

As for Mary, she was little more than a child when the angel came to her; she had not lost her child's creative acceptance of the realities moving on the other side of the everyday world. We lose our ability to see angels as we grow older, and that is a tragic loss.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
