And happiness is always louder than sadness.

Her bark is worse than her bite.

I'd studied 16th century science and magic. I thought it was strange that people were interested in the same kinds of things my research was about. The more I thought about it, the more intriguing it became and pretty soon I was writing a novel about a reluctant witch and a 1500-year-old vampire.

It was a brutal picture, a tug-of-war between two equal but opposing impulses. It had the ring of truth, however.

And happiness is always louder than sadness.
