I am reading Wolfe Hall, by Hilary Mantel - I must read everything she has written: brilliant stuff.

Anyway, I just came across this glorious line: Thomas Cromwell speaking with King Henry VIII, "“No ruler in the history of the world has ever been able to afford a war. They’re not affordable things."

And I wish we had a Thomas Cromwell today, who would have the courage to speak truth to power.

My gods, this book!

"Embrace diversity.
Unite--
Or be divided,
robbed,
ruled,
killed
By those who see you as prey.
Embrace diversity
Or be destroyed."

Chapter preface, Chapter 17

@drsueoosthuizen how fabulous to be able to gaze on such an old illustrated text. I love the Vision of Piers Plowman - ‘in a somer seson when softe was the sonne’. Envy. #poetry #ancienttexts #books #booksadon

Six books to get to know me:
1. Beloved by Toni Morrison
2. The Giant's House by Elizabeth McCracken
3. The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel
4. Heavy by Kiese Laymon
5. Get In Trouble by Kelly Link
6. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

Also, making this list reminds me of LiveJournal.

Okay, a bit more about me, now that I've got a better idea how things work.

I'm an #IndieAuthor of #FantasyBooks hoping to connect with other authors and readers of fantasy. Sounds logical, yes? Hoping to find an active community for good conversation, rather than just promotion. If you like #gardening, #nature, and #wildlife even better. 😀
