Jasper Fforde
“She had large, questioning eyes that seemed to draw me in and a sense of quiet outrage that simmered just beneath the surface. More than anything, within her features, there was a streak of wild quirkiness that made her dazzlingly attractive.”
Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey

Amber Dawn
“Morning came in through the blinds cutting everything into ribbons.”
Amber Dawn, Sub Rosa
