Writing is something I've always done, since I was at least nine or ten. I wrote stories about children like me, in other places in the world I imagined. I wrote stories about animals. I chronicled my teenage years with an almost comical level of angst. In college, I ranted with virtual foam at the mouth, about my political beliefs in every school publication, and blog I could find.

And yet, for some strange reason, I never saw myself writing for a living, and certainly never writing novels. Fortunately, the universe has a way of course-correcting (life lessons from Lost)and I found myself with eight months to write and publish my first novel, Linked. It's a completely anonymous endeavour, and so I rely on the bravery of those willing to tak

Hey Readers, Thanks

Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. There's still plenty of room for me to fall to number 860,000 in the Kindle Store. But seeing as, extraordinarily, that has not happened yet, I feel compelled to express my deep, deep gratitude to all the readers who have taken a chance on my book.

You are saints and explorers, and I cannot tell you how much it means to me. I haven't told my family and frien Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by S.K. Newton  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The thing about pain that I’ve learned over the years  is that it isn’t as bad once you get used to it. You can’t fight it, that only makes it worse; you have to accept that it’s going to be there, you have to embrace it, and then it becomes your companion. I can even see how one might start to like pain. Enjoy it.”
S.K. Newton, Linked

Future Wastelands: Introduce Yourself 15 41 Apr 16, 2014 03:40PM  
“as there is no screen or ceiling between our heads and the infinite heavens, so is there no bar or wall in the soul where man, the effect, ceases, and God, the cause, begins. The walls are taken away. We lie open on one side to the deeps of spiritual nature, to the attributes of God. Justice we see and know, Love, Freedom, Power. These natures no man ever got above, but they tower over us, and most in the moment when our interests tempt us to wound them.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison
