I write books. I’ve got some kids and a very patient spouse. I live in the PNW surrounded by trees and terrible drivers. I love it despite the traffic. She/her. You can find me at: www.LaurenDane.com

A quote from Lauren Dane’s, BLOOD AND MAGIC: “We are not humans. We are the Conclave.” Genevieve’s magic swirled around her, mimicking Dust Devils in the wild. “I am beyond your petty powers and potions. Go and tell them, Felix. They can know and their choice after that will be in their shoulders.”
A line from poet, Yrsa Daley-Ward, “Seize that loveliness. It has always been yours.”
Quote on a wood grain background with bolder black text that reads: A WORD AFTER A WORD AFTER A WORD IS POWER. From the poem, “Spelling” by Margaret Atwood

You will not get over a loss; you will learn to live with it. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor would you want to. Elizabeth Kubler Ross

From “Touring” by Audre Lorde I leave poems behind me Dropping them like dark seeds that I will never harvest That I will never mourn
