Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I am getting an early start on this today, since I’m back in my regular time zone. It’s good to be settling back into my normal routines.

Today’s Teaser is from The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. I’m not quite finished with this book (real life has been kicking m y butt lately and my reading is way behind), but I’m starting to get caught up. These two sentences really manage to sum up the main character’s attitude – he’s not hopeless, he is, in fact very determined. Early on, he’s just determined to do something pretty bleak.

“I would simply get well enough to be released and, within twenty-four hours of leaving the hospital, I would be dead. This was my promise to myself, and it was the only thing that kept me going.”
