Karl Wiggins
“Harpie mends like a motherfucker! All provocative and sensual and full of agonisingly exquisite scars. She has that strain of devilry and high-jinks that ill-advised and irrational men flee from …. And return to when it’s too late”
― Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe

Amy K. Sorrells
“All I have is broken.
Broken mends best.”
― Amy K. Sorrells, How Sweet the Sound
