“of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously. Emerald Green Desiree Holt”

“Death was driving an emerald-green Lexus.”

“The characters and events in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author. Past events are described in a fictitious manner, future events are described as they will indeed occur, unless they are disrupted by historical agitators, which is beyond the author's control. For now.”

“Authors do not supply imaginations, they expect their readers to have their own, and to use it”

“My people have been wearing green glasses on their eyes for so long that most of them think this really is an Emerald City.”

“The world is exploding in emerald, sage, and lusty chartreuse - neon green with so much yellow in it. It is an explosive green that, if one could watch it moment by moment throughout the day, would grow in every dimension.”
