Quotes by James Litherland (?)

“She lifted a corner of the long coat she had wrapped around her rifle. ‘This is Frank.’ The girl had named her gun.

Lisa shook her head. ‘Why Frank?’

Grace smiled. ‘Because he’s very direct.”
― James Litherland, Threat Multiplication

“Caroline hated to interrupt the woman, but she had to stop that kind of talk. Relegating donuts and muffins and crackers and cookies to ‘and such’ was a good way to get them all lynched.”
― James Litherland, Compromised Inside

“Fear is always there—sometimes softly tapping, sometimes banging on the door—but never let it in, Kat. If you do, it will take over, and you cannot allow your actions to be dictated by fear. Every move you make should flow from what you know in your heart is right. Guided by your intelligence and training.”
― James Litherland, Durable Impressions

“Start telling the stories that only you can tell. Because there will always be better writers than you, and there will always be smarter writers than you, and there will always be, you know, people who are much better at doing this or doing that, but you are the only you.”

“No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature.”
