Pam   Jones
“Her occupation was the worst that anyone could think of. No guest in the park had to think of it because, unlike the wandering dwarf women, her job had no bearing on paper.”
Pam Jones, The Biggest Little Bird

“Still lying there, I turned to see Mary, holding some expensive pots and pans, walk out of the front door without looking back. I wished her all the best in the world, every good thing.”
Kevin Wilson
