Eggshell Skull: A Memoir About Standing Up, Speaking Out and Fighting Back:
"This moving, yet crushing, memoir by Bri Lee is a very timely & necessary story, given the current #MeToo movement.
It really is horrifying how many women have been affected by violence & sexual assault, & as an assistant to a Judge in..." Read more of this review » |

"A brilliant, searing, inspiring book! Lee describes abuse survival with clarity and courage and humour, linking her personal experiences to broader issues with such intelligence and compassion. It has me wondering about my own experiences of abuse..."

“There's a flame of magic inside every stone & every flower, every bird that sings & every frog that croaks. There's magic in the trees & the hills & the river & the rocks, in the sea & the stars & the wind, a deep, wild magic that's as old as the world itself. It's in you too, my darling girl, and in me, and in every living creature, be it ever so small. Even the dirt I'm sweeping up now is stardust. In fact, all of us are made from the stuff of stars.”

“I think fantasy is best described as a kind of fiction that evokes wonder, mystery or magic, a sense of possibility beyond the ordinary world in which we live, and yet which reflects and comments upon that known world.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

Thanks for the friend invite, Kate! :)Your books seem really interesting. I'll have to read them some day.

Hi Kate, thanks for accepting my friend request! I absolutely loved Bitter Greens and I can't wait to read The Wild Girl. You are an exceptional writer and your novels are a pleasure to read.
A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Kate. It may interest you that one of my books, "Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom", is now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)http://www.amazon.com/Marvin-Clark-Se...
