Query Re THWARTED QUEEN

I’m a new (read unknown) author about to publish my first novel on Amazon later this month. THWARTED QUEEN is a self-published historical novel about Cecylee Neville, the wife of Richard, Duke of York and mother of kings Edward IV and Richard III. Set during the Wars of the Roses in 1400s England, we follow Cecily’s emotional journey from the nine-year-old girl sold into a marriage she...

In Regards to Lack of Posting

I’m really sorry that I haven’t been around much. I sort of just made this blog and then abandoned it. I was surprised to have so many followers when I returned. Ah. Okay, so I’m going to try to keep up with this. Please feel free to submit your favorite book(s)!

"A Little Uncomplicated Hymn" by Anne Sexton...

but-for-the-grace: for Joy is what I wanted to write. There was such a song! A song for your kneebones, a song for your ribs, those delicate trees that bury your heart; a song for your bookshelf where twenty hand-blown ducks sit in a Venetian row; a song for your dress-up high heels, your fire-red skate board, your twenty grubby fingers, the pink knitting that you start and never...

– THE BLOODY CHAMBER, Angela Carter (via drunkonstyle) Read this fucking book. Seriously, it’s an amazing book. Angela Carter is brilliant.

"The Black Art" by Anne Sexton

but-for-the-grace: A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! As if cycles and children and islands weren’t enough; as if mourners and gossips and vegetables were never enough. She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl. A man who writes knows too much, such spells and fetiches! As if erections and congresses and...

– 1984 (via peoplelookwellinthedark)

jakesakes: Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flathead parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presume to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weakness of human nature. Yet how can one speak of it today, with every...
