Introvert insight:

I don’t mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans

but talking about what I am doing is not something I’m good at.

I do what I do and that’s it.

I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.

– Henry Rollins.

I think a lot, but I don't say much.

– Anne Frank.

The good and the wise lead quiet lives.

– Euripides.

We introverts love to wander.

Our favorite destination for quiet explorations is our imagination.

No matter where we are, we feel called away by our own thoughts.

– from The Irresistible Introvert, by Michaela Chung.

Description:

Detective Matt Cordell was happily married once, and gainfully employed, and sober. But that was before he caught his wife cheating on him with one of his operatives and took it out on the man with the butt end of a .45.

Now Matt makes his home on the streets of New York and his only companions are the city’s bartenders. But trouble still knows how to find him, and when Johnny Bridges shows up from the old neighborhood, begging for Matt’s help, Cordell finds himself drawn into a case full of beautiful women and bloody murder. It’s just like the old days – only this time, when the beatings come, he may wind up on the receiving end...

Joan Aiken, on stories:

Stories ought not to be just little bits of fantasy that are used to wile away an idle hour; from the beginning of the human race stories have been used - by priests, by bards, by medicine men - as magic instruments of healing, of teaching, as a means of helping people come to terms with the fact that they continually have to face insoluble problems and unbearable realities.

– Joan Aiken.
