Sara Sheridan
“I remember calling the council's cemetery department to ask about body decomposition in different soil types. Once they had verified that I was a novelist and not a sicko, they were extremely helpful.”
Sara Sheridan

Abbi Waxman
“And, of course, Dr. Bloem is one of the leading authorities on humus, internationally."
"The spread?" The eagle-looking guy was lost.
"I think of it more as a dip," interjected Rachel.
"Humus is a term for one of the major components of soil." The tight-haired young woman spoke clearly, shutting us all up. "Basically, it's decomposed matter. Leaves, animal remains, broken-down bark, that kind of thing."
Frances chimed in, "It's what everything becomes, eventually."
Rachel couldn't be stopped. "And it's yummy on a pita chip.”
Abbi Waxman, The Garden of Small Beginnings
