Let the meek have the kingdom of heaven. The strong shall rule on earth.

Writers generally get into writing because they want to write, not because they want to be independent publishers, and you can't really fault someone for saying, 'What I'm doing right now works, so there's no reason to change it.'

I couldn't take much more of this. Being the object two men competed for wasn't as glamorous as it sounded in the movies.

They were undead and surprisingly immature, considering the youngest was just over a hundred years old.

I'd never been a good damsel in distress. I was a "hands-on" damsel.
