Quotes by Frank Larnerd (?)

“What Elzy had learned in the war was this: Sometimes your life depended upon having to do an awful thing, and the only way to make it through was to just do it and feel the sorrow later. - 'Elzy Taylor and the Men from the City by Jesse Knifley”
― Frank Larnerd, Hills of Fire: Bare-Knuckle Yarns of Appalachia

“I could see her biting the inside of her cheek hollow while she said that last bit. It was easier to ache than grieve. She wasn't going to let a tear fall if she could help it.

But it hurt, just the same, to watch her chew. - Dead Man's Salute, Steve Vernon”
― Frank Larnerd, Hills of Fire: Bare-Knuckle Yarns of Appalachia

Thank you for your friendship. Your work and reading list look impressive. I'm currently between books, concentrating on composing a new novel about growing up in rural WV. Have you read Wellman's steampunk work? Are you a fan of vampire lit., such as Anne Rice? Yours, John Tipper
