Over ten years in publishing (and quite a few books), Gentle Reader, and here are some of the most quoted sections of my books (or interviews) as voted on by Goodreads and social media…
#1 Quote = Not from a book at all!
I was asked in an interview early on how I felt about reading and being a reader. The above quote is genuinely how I feel about it. I do read basically every day, even if it is only a chapter or two.
#2 Quote = BRAINS!
#3 Quote = Vampires!
Lord Akeldama showing up very early on in this list. No surprise there! This one came from Blameless.
Quote #4 = Gossip!
This is a Biffy quote, but it comes straight from my heart. Gossip has always been a lifeline in my family, Mum, Granma, so forth. This might be my favorite quote on this list.
Quote #5 = Sexy!
I love this one because it hints at the way I write sex scenes and how much humor I like to bring to and find in nudity and flirting.
Quote #6 = Evil Genius
This is the first on from the Finishing School series.
Quote #7 = Sledgehammer
This is Lord Maccon talking to (and describing) Alexia.
Quote #8 = Cats!
This one is Alexia thinking about herself.
Quote #9 = Steampunk
I am specifically talking about steampunk fashion in this quote from an interview I did super early on in my career.
Quote #10 = Tough Lady
This is a long one but it may be one of my favorite descriptions. I love writing something that is both funny and accurate.
There is is. After 10 years the top 10 quotes from my books!
Honorary mention to one of my favorites:
