Writing the stories about those who were never represented in the gothic literature she consumed as a child is Vivien’s life’s goal—for to pick up a book and see someone like yourself be the hero of their own story is all it takes for others to know that they can be the masters of their own fate, too.

When Vivien isn't writing, she's sewing historical costumes, daydreaming, or tending to her jungle of indoor plants.

Lectures on Russian Literature by Vladimir Nabokov
“Literature, real literature, must not be gulped down like some potion which may be good for the heart or good for the brain — the brain, that stomach of the soul. Literature must be taken and broken to bits, pulled apart, squashed — then its lovely reek will be smelt in the hollow of the palm, it will be munched and rolled upon the tongue with relish; then, and only then, its rare flavor will be appreciated at its true worth and the broken and crushed parts will again come together in your mind and disclose the beauty of a unity to which you have contributed something of your own blood.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Quotes by Vivien Rainn  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You may wish to be my poison and wine all you like, but first, Solita, you are my bread and milk.”
Vivien Rainn, Silencia

“Not splintered bone, but strong, sure hands; not desiccated flesh, but a warm steady pulse; not a mortal man, but damned demon named Silas.”
Vivien Rainn, Silencia

“In my time,” he continues, voice low, “sanctity was measured by suffering. Those saints that abstained from the pleasures of life, fasted to starvation, mortified their flesh, drank the blood of the wounded—it was only they who saw the eyes of God, it was only through their agony that they were touched by true divinity, enraptured by their own faith.” “I… I’m not a saint, Silas.” Her eyes meet his in a gaze that’s wrapped up in the promise for everything she’s always denied herself. The promise of temptation for the taste of that forbidden fruit, a single bite all it takes for irreversible expulsion, for an eternal fall from grace. “I never said you were.” The warmth of his breath is so close to her own, heat mingling, pulses flush close. “Then what are you saying?” “That I am,” he answers. “I found God. And I’m looking into her eyes.”
Vivien Rainn, Solita

“It was a descent into holy darkness sinking deeper and deeper into her need and survival. Desire coursed through her thicker than the blood in her mouth.”
Stephanie Kemler, Bloodborn (Book 1 of the Bloodmad Duet)

“We must trust when trust is not plentiful. We must eke out each drop of the miraculous.”
Stephanie Kemler, Bloodborn (Book 1 of the Bloodmad Duet)

“Something in me vibrates to a dusky, dreamy smell of dying moons and shadows.”
Zelda Fitzgerald

“Do not worry about your contradictions - Persephone is both floral maiden and queen of death. You, too, can be both.”
Nichole McElhaney, A Sisterhood of Thorns and Vengeance

“Dreams are necessary to life.”
Anais Nin
