The end of an era.

Since the new Russian TOS have dropped here at LiveJournal - I think it's time to close this down. I've been keeping an LJ in some for another since 2000, so this really does feel Big and Sad, except...well. This page hardly gets the traffic it used to. There are still a few folks I've been keeping track of over here, and vice-versa, I'm sure; but I'm not willing to play along with the new rules.

Quotes by Cherie Priest  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“And people tended not to bother a woman with a book.”
Cherie Priest, Dreadnought

“OMG YOU GUYS it has come to my attention that SOMEONE on the internet is saying that my fictional 19th century zombies are NOT SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND. Naturally, I am crushed. To think, IF ONLY I’d consulted with a zombologist or two before sitting down to write, I could’ve avoided ALL THIS EMBARRASSMENT.”
Cherie Priest

“It's funny what they say about men in uniform - how people think women just can't resist 'em. Fact is, I think we're just pleased to see a man groomed, bathed, and wearing clothes that fit him.”
Cherie Priest, Dreadnought
