The tragedy of Pompeii has always haunted me. In my novel Chronicles of Time, my protagonist travels back in time to have a profound conversation with Pliny the Younger, while Mount Vesuvius ominously signals its impending destruction in the background.

Now entertain conjecture of a time
When creeping murmur and the poring dark
Fills the wide vessel of the universe.

Bookstores are more than shops—they’re havens. You walk in for one book, leave with three, and gain an hour of peace just wandering the shelves.

Bed and book. Sleep tight folks, see you in the morning.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

When Voltaire was dying and the priest was arguing with him to renounce satan, the most witty man of his day responded very calmly, 'this is not time to make new enemies.'

A gentle reminder that balance, not excess, is where peace lives. Let go, and find the calm waiting for you. #MindfulLiving

If you don’t want to read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein together by lantern light in a seaside cottage during a full moon, then please don’t refer to yourself as “the one.”

It's certainly difficult to speak of Tolstoy in measured terms. He's a perpetual source of inspiration and guidance, apart from being a most consumate storyteller.

Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter,
Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor;
As much as child e’er lov’d, or father found;

So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.

'Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.'

It's officially winter! Time to hibernate until spring in my warm cave. I have the Timeless Fate Series books by my side, tea, coffee, blankets, a comfy couch, fire, and some lovely ambience. Nobody is going to see me or talk to me until then, and I am very happy with that.

The joy you express is highly infectious and almost everyone will be smitten by it.

Very good justification with the opening of Dante's immortal poem.

...I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.
The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks.
They are all fire and every one doth shine,
But there’s but one in all doth hold his place...

The Moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare,
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair...

Hum! This fellow might be in ’s time a great buyer of land, with his statutes, his recognizances, his fines, his double vouchers, his recoveries. Is this the fine of his fines, and the recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt?
