“You may have noticed we have no sex lives. As a result there's lots of chocolate in this house.”
Keryl Raist

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”
Kurt Vonnegut

“There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.”
Jim Butcher, White Night

“If I need you I'll give you a signal.'
What signal?"
I'll imitate the scream of a terrified little girl”
Jim Butcher

“I'd made the vampire cry. Great. I felt like a real superhero. Harry Dresden, breaker of monsters' hearts.”
Jim Butcher, Storm Front

Keryl Raist Thanks for the completely unsolicited ad for your work on my profile.

If you'll take some gentle advice, spam like this is much more of a turn off than an effective marketing technique.

Trust me, if I find your work interesting, I will read and review it.
