My favorite part of writing The Fifteenth of June was creating the characters—they’re flawed, haunted, quirky, vulgar, relatable, and amusing at times. And I enjoyed every moment of inventing dialogue between them.
I captured some of my favorite quotes from six of the main characters and organized them below as plain text, click to tweet buttons, and images that can be easily shared to Pinterest.

Hi Niccolea,
I saw your review on Amazon a few days ago—thank you so much for the kind words! I actually took a screenshot of your review and I have it going out on Instagram in the next day or two.
I like both of these quotes you referenced here. Both of them were thoughts Drew had, as I recall. He had some interesting insights for an alcoholic with social disorders, didn’t he?
I appreciate you leaving a comment, Niccolea. My second novel is due out in August. If you’d like to be notified when it’s about to be released, please don’t hesitate to subscribe to my mailing list.
Thanks again for reading and have an awesome day.
Brent
