Karen Foxlee
“Mika belIeved in Magic. One hundred
per cent without a doubt. She learned that fast when he arrived. He knew the Dewey decimal 130s like the back of his hand and they went to the town library often to sit in front of them.The 130s were bottom shelf; Occult and Paranormal. He ran his fingertips along those spines muttering to himself. ‘This is nowhere near as good as the Oxley Library, Pip.”
Karen Foxlee, Dragon Skin

Gaelen Foley
“Trying to keep Rohan out of her thoughts, wondering endlessly if she should apologize for throwing herself at him, she traveled from shelf to shelf, rearranging the books by language, by historical period, by size, as was practical, and above all, alphabetically, by the writer's last name.
She had found multiple titles by individual authors scattered willy-nilly through the collection. It made her want to pull her hair out. Obviously!- an individual author's body of work all belonged on one shelf, the works arranged, in turn, by whatever system was most suitable: by volume number, alphabetically by title, or by the year of publication, or, in case of playwrights, works grouped by genre- tragedies with tragedies, comedies with comedies, histories with histories, and so on.”
Gaelen Foley, My Dangerous Duke
