Jaime Jo Wright
“Just because my ancestor built a flipping castle in a place like Wisconsin, this is the kind of attention we get?"
"It's not the only castle in the Midwest," Cleo offered, hoping to diffuse the situation.
They stood around Stasia's car, no one getting in. Dave leaned against the trunk of his own vehicle parked ahead of Stasia's.
"No. It's not," Stasia agreed. "There's one in Ohio. Built by German immigrants.”
Jaime Jo Wright, The Vanishing at Castle Moreau

Marguerite Young
“For me, a plain Middle Westerner, there is no middle way. I am in love with whatever is eccentric, devious, strange, singular, unique, out of this world—and with life as an incalculable, a chaotic thing.”
Marguerite Young
