Book Excerpt for the Day


    Satina could smell the paper from the street facing entrance.  She stood just inside the stone arch and inhaled the crisp, slightly-musty aroma of old knowledge.  Outside the nook, the sea still dominated the evening air, tangy and full of salt and fish and other slippery creatures.  Here, however, she could block out the tide for a moment and enjoy the smells of home.  Stories lived here, and any town that boasted an archive, that still cared about what once was, was worth her time.
