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

“I will tell a thrilling tale of intrigue,” said Queen Noor. “So thrilling that you might think yourself to be in the presence of a fine, traveling storyteller.”
Karen Gammons, Shadow Man

“Dorian, I have wings!”
“I can see that.”
“What am I?” I asked, as chills ran up my spine.
“I—I can’t be positive, because I have never seen one. But I think you’re a phoenix,” he said in amazement. “You are so beautiful.”
Karen Gammons, Phoenix

“Dorian sat quietly for a moment and then said, “We all straddle the abyss, Penny. If you never look down, how will you ever know who you are or what you will become? Your dad could never be ashamed of you, because falling in that abyss is part of the process of growing up.”
Karen Gammons

Thank you very much for including me among your friends here on goodreads.com. Your book sounds interesting and it seems to be well received as well.
Hope you won't mind my invitation to have a look at my spiritual fiction novel, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. We both have quite the long titles huh?
