“Write. Publish. Repeat.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“The only way to build a fan base is to have a lot of material out there for readers to find. You can't manufacture a fan base. You create it, one story at a time.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“Reese, honey, victims are victims when they remain quiet. They gain power when they speak out.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“[Discipline i]t’s the ability to overcome the urge to grab the bright and shiny and interesting to finish what you’ve started.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch

“He crossed the stage, pushed the bench back and sat, hands resting on the keyboard cover. After a moment, he took off the cloth, and uncovered the keyboard. He rested his fingers on the keys, but didn’t depress them, simply sitting there for a moment, in the dark and silent auditorium, and closed his eyes. He belonged here. Not on a stage, but with a piano. It was the only place he felt alive. The groupies, the concerts, the strangely worshipful perks of fame, none of them made him feel complete like these moments alone did.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch

“It wasn’t quite the death of hope—part of her still hoped that Coop was alive somewhere. It was more like the application of hope. She wanted to make sure that no one else—child, adult, crew member, captain—would ever lose a loved one to foldspace again. It was probably a vain hope. But it would keep her going, for at least another forty years.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Application of Hope
“About ten meters beneath us,” Yash says. “We'll be able to map its footprint, just like Stone says.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Boneyards
“Some old spacers stay away from wrecks. These old-timers believe the wrecks are haunted—not by the dead crew, but by old science, the kind that could kill us because we don’t understand it.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Diving Series Box Set: Books 1-3
“Sometimes great risks require a little bit of stupid.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Runabout: A Diving Novel
“You know, in the past, I would've gotten yelled at for that kind of outspokenness. Now everyone listens as if what I have to say is important, and then they find ways to contradict me. I think I like the yelling better.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Buried Deep
“At that same anthology workshop, award-winning romance writer Anthea Lawson (who also writes fantasy as the bestselling Anthea Sharp) told me about a successful bundle that she has done.” ― Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Discoverability
