“It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it”

-Francois de la Rochefoucauld

"But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way."

-Jane Austin Northanger Abbey

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, And a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

- Bible - Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

The Slipper Fit reviews
For all of his eccentricities , I never thought the prince mad, but there was no other reasonable explanation for the proclamation I'd just read. After all, how could one possibly find their true love based on the size of a shoe? - Cinderella and not. All at the same time.

Her Weight in Gold reviews
Leigh Morrison is a dreamer, and that's fine by her. It's safe to dream of magic and adventure from the comfort of your own bedroom when you're snuggled with a book. But when magic comes to life in a very real and very dangerous way, it's going to take a lot of strength she didn't know she had to get out alive. And who knows, maybe she'll manage to get that date after all.
