Another Signed Book Giveaway
Running another signed book giveaway for my new novel THIS LITTLE LIGHT!
It's an allegory, set just a few years into the future, in a society ruled by religious corruption where two innocent young girls are accused of planting a bomb at a Purity Ball and have to go on the run. Armed mobs, puffed up with righteousness and blazing with moral indignation, mobilize forces to hunt the girls down. Rory M Read more of this blog post »

"In a nutshell, this is the story of Wolf and how when he was 18, he decided to end his life by jumping off a cliff in the mountains - the same mountain that he frequented with his best friend, Byrd. All we know at the beginning is that one year prior"

“I feel, holding books, accommodating their weight and breathing their dust, an abiding love. I trust them, in a way that I can't trust my computer, though I couldn't do without it. Books are matter. My books matter. What would I have done through these years without the library and all its lovely books?”

“I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to the beguiling moon. I’ve never used an airplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that. I’ve never driven a car. Or slept through the night. Never a private talk. Or a solo walk. I’ve never climbed a tree. Or faded into a crowd. So many things I’ve never done, but oh, how I’ve been loved. And, if such things were to be, I’d live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially.”
