Nicki Salcedo liked an answer from Sally Kilpatrick: I like to curse using lines from Shakespeare. Have you ever done this? Do you bit your thumb at me? You know, I think I may start biting my thumb at people in traffic. After my latest reread of Bittersweet Creek to make sure I had all of my references ready, I decided I could take a cue from the bard and be more euphemistic with my language. In par See Sally’s answer. Sally Kilpatrick

Nicki Salcedo liked Gina's review of Maize: "Sweet, beautifully written and evocative story of teen girl going on her first date in October. Salcedo uses gorgeous images and poignant moments in her writing, and this was definitely true here as she wove together young love, death, fear, and hope" Read more of this review »

“Wherever she sought solitude, she was never alone. Suddenly that wasn't a bad thing. There was safety in numbers greater than one and sanity in knowing that everyone healed. If everyone has scars, there are two choices. Bleed to death slowly or stitch yourself together.”

“He might be worried, but at least he's not upset with me. My family gets up set easily, and he got stuck helping me out. Wrong place. Wrong time. --She tried to turn her face to hide marks.

The nurse told her no. --Everything is right. Right place. Right time for both of you.

Are you from Jamaica? Ava asked, but she knew the answer. The woman had that terrible peace about her that some people were born with. There was no wrong. Everything could be made right.”
