‘Sharky Tremayne had lurched into fatherhood with his customary haphazardness. An arsonist of the heart, he briefly lit up Marigold Polglase, Cornwall’s strongest woman, who had run away from the circus when it pitched up at Pool Market.’ The Triumph of Goliathia Tremayne, Catherine Leyshon
‘Peran’s white, lunar countenance looms over me. I am not sure he is telling me the truth.’ Of Red Riding Hood, Grandmas and Wolves, Abigail Elizabeth Ottley
‘I swear, today is the last day my mother will control my life. “There’s a letter for you,” she’d said. “In my desk. Bottom drawer. Promise me you’ll open it after my funeral, not before.”’ A Letter from the Other Side, Claudia Loveland
