So I have started another, a kind of sequel.

I now have a website, if you Google or Bing 'Paulette Jiles, Author', you should find it. Read more of this blog post »

“And she understood, all by herself, without reading it in a novel or hearing it on a radio program, that falling passionately in love with someone, without reservation or holding back, was good for the heart. For its valves and its arteries and that invisible shadow of the heart called the soul. Falling in love was good for the soul.”
Paulette Jiles, Stormy Weather
tags: love, soul

“Maybe life is just carrying news. Surviving to carry the news. Maybe we have just one message, and it is delivered to us when we are born and we are never sure what it says; it may have nothing to do with us personally but it must be carried by hand through a life, all the way, and at the end handed over, sealed. He”
Paulette Jiles, News of the World

“The road to hell was paved with the bones of men who did not know when to quit fighting.”
Paulette Jiles, Enemy Women
