Quotes by Pamela Sargent (?)

“Nature often allows a person only one mistake.”
― Pamela Sargent, Earthseed

“My self-imposed solitude, at first a punishment I inflicted upon myself, became a kind of solace. I was apart from the city, my only reality the thoughts inside myself. Slowly, without the distractions of other companions and the need to mold and modify my ideas in their company, I came to know my own mind and the kind of purpose I might find in my work.”
― Pamela Sargent, The Shore of Women

Thank you much for "friending" me. I loved your Star Trek novels. I've been a Trekkie since the late '60s, and I've never tired of Star Trek. These days I almost never read Science Fiction, or Fantasy, but I'll never give up Star Trek. Beam me up, Scotty! Scotty was always my favorite.

Thanks for the friendship, Pamela!

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation, which recently made the Bram Stoker Award Preliminary Ballot. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to vist my site here:

Happytimes,
