additional although anticipate aspect blood cultural cultures element enjoy exciting exploring exposure indian prepared readers running truth ways work
Readers anticipate that a significant element of every story will be additional exposure to the ways of the Ojibwe. The truth is that I enjoy this aspect of the work. Although I have no Indian blood running through my veins, in college I prepared to be a cultural anthropologist, so exploring other cultures is exciting to me.
beautiful book sleep
Nicole Baart has written a novel that satisfies on every level. Sleeping In Eden is a compelling mystery, a tragic love story, a perceptive consideration of the callous whim of circumstance and, perhaps most important, a beautiful piece of prose. I guarantee this is a book that will haunt you long after you've turned the last page.
giving deserve
What life gives us, good or bad, we seldom deserve.
morning miracle able
The miracle is this: that you will rise in the morning and be able to see again the startling beauty of the day.
long here-and-there moments
And what is happiness, Nathan? In my experience, it's only a moment's pause here and there on what is otherwise a long and difficult road. No one can be happy all the time.
night doubt accomplices
I was a sinner. I knew that without a doubt. But I was not alone. And the night was the accomplice of us all.
heart men air
We turn, three men bound by love, by history, by circumstance, and most certainly by the awful grace of God, and together walk a narrow lane where headstones press close all around, reminding me gently of Warren Redstone’s parting wisdom, which I understand now. The dead are never far from us. They’re in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one final puff of air.
boys men fishing
Fishing, Danny boy, is purely a state of mind. Some men, when they are fishing, are after fish. Me, I'm after things you could never set a barbed hook in.
evil understanding wish
Michael Koryta isn’t just one of the finest authors working in the crime genre today. He’s simply one of today’s finest authors, period. His stories are taut, compelling, and beautifully rendered. His understanding of human nature-the good, the evil, and all the gray between-is masterful. THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD is Koryta at his best.
strong easy used
I used to ask for an easy life, now I ask to be strong.
heart air mind
The dead are never far from us. They're in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one final puff of air.
drives great
When you're a writer, you're always looking for conflict. It's conflict that drives great stories.
cork freed novels
'Ordinary Grace' freed me. I don't have to write only Cork O'Connor novels now. I'm liberated. I can write whatever I want to write.
authors whether work
I think that whether we acknowledge it or not, our opinions as authors always influence our work. How can they not?
