“since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis”

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

I just finished Switched. Absolutely loved it! Great work and thanks for writing it. Now I must leave to ravish the rest of the series : )

I've gotta say, you really inspire me. I'm the same age as you and a paranormal writer to boot. My first novel is coming out next month, but I won't bother you with spammy links - that's totally not my intent.
I also run an author PR firm called Novel Publicity, and your name is constantly being thrown around by the indies I represent and network with. You inspire the lot of us.
Keep up the fabulousness,
Emlyn
