He abandoned his home country, Peru, because he felt like he was caught in the country. After the long journey, he found the wide diversity of his motherland.
Because he saw the world, he recognized the beauty of his home country's culinary culture and the scenery. Being proud of being Peruvian, he felt his mission was to turn the soul of Peru into 17 dishes course. He established research centers to keep unwritten history of culinary in countryside areas. He and his team flew to all over Peru, excavated the history, wrote about it, and shared the information with all over the world.

I mentioned in my last post that I haven't tried baking with my daughter. Well, that has came to the end! This weekend, Sabrina and I managed to make our first gingerbread man together! Hurray!!
Just a little thought on what we should take to her friend's who invited her next week. I must have been very positive (or rarely overconfident?) to think about baking.
You know, baking is not my forte.
No, get it right. Baking is not what I am good at.
No, be precise. Baking is what I do not like. I CANNOT bake. I fear for baking.
All those measuring, mixing stuff together accurately, unlike cooking where you can "wing it", and I get it always wrong, stressed and never get the good end result whatever I have baked in the past. Surely it is similar to measuring and mixing glazes? Aren't kneading and rolling similar to clay work? Every time the pastry stuck on the surface and breaks the shape of gingerbread man, I cried. Why isn't this working for me? Why is baking so haaaaaard???
Anyway I did it! I am so proud of myself :)
Sabrina enjoyed rolling and cutting small pieces herself. (Gingerbread man became my task in the end, but anyhow!) Obviously she enjoyed tasting. Yum!
Her highlight of the weekend was actually the Christmas tree. Once her dad brought it into the room, she was delighted as you can see in the photo. Not so long now, darling. Time to enjoy! x m

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The search for a missing 8-year-old ended in the best possible way on Tuesday afternoon, with the young boy found safe and sound.
"I'm very relieved to have found my son, and that he was in good hands," said Sahjir Bullock's mother, Marsheila Price.
Price was reunited with her son inside East Detectives, and she spoke with reporters as they walked out together.
"To get that phone call, it was amazing," said Price.
"I'm glad to be home with my family!" said Bullock, who added that he didn't know his mother was worried and looking for him.
The boy sent his family into a panic when he didn't come home from football practice on Monday night.
Around 5:30 p.m., He took the Septa El train by himself to the Margaret Orthodox Stop, near where the Pop Warner team called the Frankford Chargers practice. He was supposed to meet his 15-year-old brother after practice around 8 p.m., but his brother said he never showed up.
All night and this morning, the family and police searched for him. Luckily, more than 15 hours later, he was located with one of his football buddies. The friend's mother, Erica Gardner, brought him safely back to the station.
"He's a kid that plays with my kid. At the time, he was out too late, and I just took him home with me," said Gardner. "He's fine, his mom is a good friend of me. But I just wanted to take that burden off her chest."
There was no phone call to the worried family, but Price said it's between the boys.
"They had a misunderstanding," said Price, "the two brothers."

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time I use to reflect on the ups and downs of the months before and express sincere "Thanks" because I am still here to celebrate with my family and friends. I'm so thankful to my little sister and Mom, who did all the cooking this year and the turkey was DELICIOUS!
You are apart of our family. I hope this Thanksgiving holiday brought you love, joy, peace, and comfort.
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

Address: 880 Queen St. W.
Intimidation factor: Nominal. I initially fear that it is way too girlie for me. The shopping bag even reads "Je T' (heart symbol) pretty things."
Number of salespeople on floor: One.
Response time: Instant. Anna, an aspiring actress as well as boutique staffer, could make a career out of being a greeter. She is effervescent without being annoying.
Vibe: Parisian boutique meets Miami Vice. There are more pastels here than in the closet of the late Queen Mother.
Price range: From $8 for a lip balm to $555 for a dramatic beaded flapper dress with a feather hem by Parker.
Rating: Two and a half giraffe tank tops out of four.
I stumble upon Bicyclette Boutique while en route to an appointment on Queen St. W. I don't know what to expect by the name — bike courier pit stop, or maybe workout wear store. Then I venture inside, and I could be in Palm Beach, ground zero for Bergdorf blondes in pastel cashmere sweater sets.
Is it too girlie? It is girlie — but not terminally. It is pretty and feminine, with an Eiffel Tower as part of the decor, without being saccharine sweet.
Bicyclette is a mélange of whimsy, girlie, edgy, and preppy. There is everything: footwear, prom wear, street wear and even underwear with a soupçon of sophistication and sexiness in some of the pieces.
"I would so wear that," a pretty young thing squeals, fondling a sexy black crepe jumpsuit/coverall by Jovonnista London priced at $120.
For glitter girls: a sleeveless pale aqua blouse with big bold faux bling at the collar at $68.
They carry Euro lines like Jovonnista because they are edgy, and funky L.A. lines like Wildfox Couture because they aren't absurdly pricey. Owner Paige Boersma deliberately keeps price points reasonable to appeal to the young Queen West demographic.
Trying not to feel like a total geezer, I pounce upon a tank top with grazing giraffes ($66.)
I also try on a T-shirt with elephants, but I feel like a Disney character in it.
There are de rigueur army jackets from Maison Scotch and a great midi dress combining the two top trends this season — black-and-white Beetlejuice stripes and floral — by avant-garde fashion label Joanna London for $162.
A beige-and-black polka dot pleated mini skirt by Maison Scotch is terminally cute for $106 and its tapestry flats are absolutely doable at $109.
I am drawn to a mauve linen Wildfox sweater with a big pink heart ($250) and an oversized charcoal sweatshirt with pink flamingos (on sale at $150) is trying its best to seduce me, but I have sworn off flamingos.
And who can resist a good tutu? Get them here in white, pink and black, locally made for $150.
Everyone carries jean jackets, but Bicyclette has them in a chevron pattern. A jean shirt is also not just a jean shirt here. There's one in black lace everywhere except for the collar and placket (the front edge of a shirt where the button holes are located) for $78.
Free Peopledenim shorts come in faded blue-and-white striped denim and antique white lace for $98.
Varsity bomber jackets are huge this spring/summer. Bicyclette's are in pale green satin with grey sweatshirt sleeves for $230.
Get some good advice in your inbox
Black leather jackets are ubiquitous. How about a "vegan" white fake leather biker vest instead?
I fall hard for a fabulous $350 purple choker from Noir made of cubic zirconia.
But the giraffe tank top had me at hello.

text: One of my most favourite Spy cosmetics, the Scarecrow, came out during the 2012 Halloween update. It turns the Spy's head into a voodoo doll head. What I love about this is just how unsettling this looks. The button eyes with some of the stuffing poking out from the back of the buttons, the stitches across the mouth, the seams and patches on the Spy's head (or rather, his balaclava), it just gives that uncanny valley vibe to the Spy. And it also reminds me of Coraline. Must be the eyes. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure at first… [Continue Reading]Read more

This post will likely only make sense if you read the previous one (Instructional Support Program – scroll down and you'll find it). A very astute district patron suggested after reading the original post, while although complimentary on substance and information, suggested making it shorter with bullet points about what's really important about the Instructional Support Program (ISP) … here is my attempt at doing so.
- State has not set the amount of funding for the General Fund – also known as the Operating Fund and "Teaching and Learning Fund" … so we're having to build a budget and have it certified by April 15, 2015 without facts on revenues
- The state sets funding for the General Fund through a school finance formula – there is absolutely no local control in this
- The only locally controlled option to supplement the General Fund is a program called the Instructional Support Program
- On January 26, 2015, the I-35 Board approved a resolution to consider the ISP
- I-35 is higher than the state average in total tax levy % going for non-instructional things
- I-35 is lower than the state average in total tax levy % going for instructional things
- The Instructional Support Program would help reverse these percentages and put more money toward teaching and learning … without increasing the overall tax rate for I-35 patrons
- We will reduce levies in other funds (primarily Management Fund) and use those levies to support the Instructional Support Program
- A simple analogy may help in understanding
- Our total school tax levy constitutes a pie.
- We are not going to increase the overall size of the pie, but rather just cut the pieces in different sizes.
- Our intent with the ISP is to maintain programs and reasonable class sizes, increase technology, and update curricular materials
- Next step in the process is a Public Hearing:
- Monday, February 16, 2015
- 6:30 pm
- High school library
- After the Public Hearing, the Board will decide to either move forward with the Instructional Support Program or not
- This is critically important to our district as there isn't the time to pursue the voter-approved ISP (due to legal timelines for special school elections) and have the funding available for the 2015-2016 school year
That's about as condensed as I can make it … for more details read the longer version. If you have any questions please contact me at email@example.com … this is very important stuff for the future of the Interstate 35 Community School District.

I had spotted an intriguing recipe for crustless mini-quiche that used cupcake cups. I started poking around for additional crustless quiches, which I list some links at the bottom of this article.
My inclination to modify kicked in. Why not make the quiche totally gluten-free? With my crusted quiches, I was always adding one or two tablespoons of flour. How about, instead of using cupcake pans, I finally use my mini-loaf pan that I've had for years and not yet used? The one ingredient that nudged me to make the recipe items all come together? Zucchini! More zucchini from the co-worker who had already given me lots of!
My pixstrip shows eight image areas:
- Implements
- separate bowls of zucchini, cheese, ham
- zucchini, cheese, ham combined in a larger glass bowl
- eggs, evaporated milk, spray oil
- mini-loaf pan, prepped with the spray oil
- Combo pic:
- mini-loaf pan with the filling mixture parceled out into the pan wells
- evaporated milk and eggs whisked together in the measuring cup pitcher
- closer-in pic of pitcher showing the total amount of fluid
- baked mini-loaf quiches
- baked mini-loaf quiches, one dished onto a plate (yum!)
- mini-loaf pan
- wide-mouth mixing bowl
- measuring cup pitcher or similar
- wire whisk
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- Solid fillings, listed in the order that the 2nd pic shows
- thin-sliced zucchini, previously frozen, then thawed and drained to weigh 10 oz. (YMMV if you use fresh zucchini.)
- 8 oz shredded Swiss cheese (I used thin-sliced Swiss cheese that I cut into smaller pieces.)
- 8 oz cubed ham or similar (I cut ham pieces into small-cube size.)
- Wet
- 4 eggs
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Spray oil into the pan wells. You can do this step any time before you add the solid fillings or fluids into the pan.
- Prepare the bowls of zucchini, Swiss cheese, and ham. Stir together in a bigger bowl.
- Divvy up the fillings into the mini-loaf pan wells.
- Beat eggs and evaporated milk together in a separate bowl. (I used a large, plastic measuring cup.) If desired, beat the eggs first, then blend in the milk.
- Pour the egg-and-milk mixture into the pan wells, being careful not to overfill.
- Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
- Use a cooky spatula or similar to press a mini-quiche's sides away from pan walls, then lift it onto a plate.
- Repeat extraction for each quiche. You can store the rest of them by wrapping each individually in food wrap and freezing them.
When I tried extracting a mini-loaf quiche (gingerly using a cooky spatula and plastic knife), I noticed some fluid at the bottom of the pan well. It's a good thing I had drained the zucchini before I mixed and baked.
Each wrapped mini-quiche weighed about 4 ounces. Hmmm, snack size!
On occasion, I've thawed one a few hours or overnight in the fridge, then microwave it for about a minute, using a nearly ancient, low-power, 700-watt oven). I'd still get fluid, which I concluded came from the ham. (I've reheated ham slices from the same ham and wound up with fluid.)
One friend, more patient than I, reheated one mini-loaf quiche that I gave her. She placed hers inside a dish and lid set, and heated it in a regular oven. Hers came out fine, without extra fluid.
What did I do with the fluid? Sipped it like it was a broth. Tasty!
My recipe is versatile enough for using different ingredients, different baking shapes. You could even try pouring the ingredients into a pie shell for a regular quiche. For that matter, try the cupcake-sized wells as several recipes say to use.
The following webpages attracted my attention while I searched for ideas for crustless, mini, and quiche:
Crustless Veggie Mini Quiches
This recipe uses Egg Beaters pourable eggs. Yields cupcake-sized quiches. Some good advice about ingredients:
Use your favorite vegetables in these mini quiches. Firm vegetables such as carrots, broccoli or asparagus will need to be cooked in the microwave a few minutes and then chopped finely so they will be tender at the end of the baking time.Mini Loaf Pan Quiche Lorraine
This recipe calls for loads of ingredients, including flour. (This recipe makes crusted mini-loaves in individual pans.)
Crustless Quiche Lorraine
In contrast to the previous recipe I listed, this one makes a full-size quiche that calls for a pound of bacon, a whole onion, and six eggs. The author does mention using a 12" ceramic quiche pan. She suggests cutting the ingredients by about a third if using a pie pan.
Crustless Quiche for One
This crustless mini-quiche is flour-free and free of cow dairy products, using soy milk and soy creamer. Even though using vegan and soy cheese, the author suggests alternatives of mozzarella or cheddar.
Mini Crustless Quiches
The recipe looks heavy on the eggs (5) and light on the milk (1/4 cup). The yield is six muffin-size mini-quiches, but I can't tell the muffin well size. The author makes a statement about about types of veggies to use (similar to another sentiment):
you can add whatever veggies you like {or tolerate} or happen to have on hand in your homeMini Quiche Recipe
This recipe is light on both the eggs (1) and milk (1/2 cup). She uses a mini-muffin pan for 15 crusted quiches.
Update, as of 9/10/2014
- Original zucchini amount: 2 cups prviously frozen zucchini, thawed to measure 2 cups
- Original baking time: about 30 minutes, then test for doneness

"The Vegas shooting: Not an excuse but maybe an explanation - Hurt People Hurt People."
Everyone is asking, "How could someone kill all these people and then kill himself?" No doubt only God knows. This question is so complex that even the most trained psychologists may not be able to provide a satisfying answer. However, I want to offer some possible answers, and once again, God's Word helps us.
In Mark 5 Jesus encounters a man who is so troubled, demonized, and harmful to self and others that he was living in the tombs, cutting himself, overcome with mental and emotional anguish, and even exhibiting supernatural strength such that he could break free from chains. This oppressed man likely hated himself and others, and would have today been diagnosed with all kinds of mental, social, psychological, and spiritual disorders. Had he gone to a doctor, he would have been put on all kinds of medications, and they might have helped. But Jesus loved him and did something to him no one else could do. Jesus sets him free by casting the many demons out of him and into a herd of pigs to be drowned. A side note: it is good this didn't happen today or Jesus would have likely been arrested by the animal rights' people for animal abuse. Anyway, after this amazing act of love and power by Jesus, the troubled man was set free, clothed and in his right mind. We see in this story how Jesus did indeed come to set the captives free. The Good News is that Jesus is more powerful than Satan and still does this today, for those who call upon Him for help and deliverance.
I see a lot of similarities between the demonized man in Mark 4 and the Las Vegas shooter. I am not even going to mention his name because I am opposed to giving him any more attention. I offer the following possibilities to the Vegas shooting:
1. His father was a very sinful and sick man (i.e., bankrobber). The bible says, "The sins of the forefathers are carried to the 3rd and 4th generation."
2. He probably never received much love. Those who don't feel love have a hard time giving love.
3. He was a loner and thus more susceptible to the lies of the enemy.
4. He mistreated his girlfriend, and this often has roots in self-hatred.
5. He was likely very bitter at others and life, and this makes someone want to hurt others. Hurt people hurt people. "The wages of sin is death."
6. He was looking for life and meaning in all the wrong places: money, gambling, and sex. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
7. He likely had a very poor self-image, and at the core hated himself and thus hated others. Hurt people hurt people.
8. His mental and emotional pain likely made him want to put that same pain on others. "They might as well suffer like I am. I sure can't stand to see all these thousands of happy people at a concert. They don't deserve to be happy while I am in misery." Satan will indeed feed people lies like this to lead them to "steal, kill and destroy."
9. Therefore, once he decided to end his own life, he figured he might as well take down others with him. Hurt people hurt people.
10. As sick as this is to all people of sound mind, he may also have wanted to do something that would put his picture before the whole world to somehow validate his worth. This is why I am personally opposed to the news showing the picture of people who do such things.
11. John 10:10 says, "Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy." Satan is ultimately behind all acts of evil like this. One thing I am certain of: this man was clearly demonized at a very severe level, likely at the level of the demonized man in Mark 5.
The good news in the midst of this horrible tragedy is the rest of John 10:10, "But I (Jesus) have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." The love and power of Jesus can transform not only a person like this, but anyone who is hurting.
I may be off in some of the explanations, but I am not off in the solution. Whatever is hurting and troubling you today, Jesus wants to help you. He loves you; He created you; He died for you; and He rose again for you. Turn to Him with whatever pain you have. He can do for you what no one else or nothing else can do. He came to set the captives free. I just wish this man had turned to Jesus. A lot more people would be living today had He done that.

Meredy (メルディ Merudi?) is one of the protagonists in Tales of Eternia. In the Melnics language, Meredy's name is pronounced as Muerudi and transcribed into English as NALR. She owns a small pet known as Quickie, whose name was bestowed by Reid Hershel based on the sounds the creature makes.
Lost Memories
As a child, Meredy was greatly loved and cared for by her parents of extremely different origins. Her mother, Shizel, was a Celestian woman who fell in love with Transon Balir, a scholar from Inferia who discovered a means of entering the opposing world 14 years before Meredy's birth. However, Meredy's memories of her childhood were greatly suppressed due to extreme trauma, and Meredy only faintly remembers memories that provide her with warm and calm thoughts. The remaining memories of her youth express an environment of cruelty and inhumane experimentation by her mother, who subjected Meredy to extreme pain and horrors until she was finally able to escape with the help of Galenos, an aged Craymel Engineer who snuck Meredy out of Shizel's reaches. Meredy remembered that Shizel was once kind and loving, but Meredy reasoned that this drastic shift in her mother's personality must have been caused by her father Balir, who had gained notoriety as the man who murdered the reigning king of Celestia and assumed his place as a tyrant ruler.
Meredy and Galenos went into hiding for years at Imen, and Meredy studied the concepts of magic and Craymel energies so that she can obtain the strength to face her own father in battle one day. Her resolve to defeat Balir surpassed all other motivations, and she excelled in the use of magic based on Celestia's Craymels, which was rapidly becoming a lost art largely due to technological advances in weaponry. Soon, however, Galenos discovered that the balance of Craymels is changing, and a mass of dark matter started to accumulate within the Orbus Barrier. He developed the theory of the Grand Fall, believing that Balir must have gained the ability to use the Dark Aurora to damage the equilibrium between Celestia and Inferia and cause the two worlds to be pulled closer to each other, eventually leading to an unsurvivable collision.
To combat this impending disaster, Galenos invented the Parasol, a device that is used to modify a Craymel Cage, enabling it to store the Greater Craymels themselves. Along with this, he developed the Craymel Craft, a powerful but small shuttlepod that would allow a single occupant to traverse into the upper atmosphere and pierce the Orbus Barrier, allowing it to cross over to the atmosphere of the opposing world of Inferia. Galenos believed that the Grand Fall could be prevented only if the cooperation of the Greater Craymels of both worlds is achieved, and these two inventions could be used to achieve that purpose. Meredy quickly volunteered for this task, taking upon herself the responsibility of gaining the trust of Inferia's Greater Craymels and the population of Inferia itself, so that the people of the other world could find other ways to stop the Grand Fall through any possible unknown technology or military aid.
Struggling to Express One's Heart
At the start of the story, Meredy and her pet Quickie are seen near the Craymel Craft in the middle of the night, having been unable to sleep during the night. Galenos discovers them at the shuttlepod, ready to depart with Meredy expressing her determination to succeed in her task. Galenos then bids her farewell as she boards the craft and departs for the Orbus Barrier, lamenting the danger that will soon affect both worlds.
Upon crossing over the Orbus Barrier into Inferia, Meredy starts to lose control of the Craymel Craft, which accelerated toward the ground due to the world's gravitational pull. She crashes into the forest of Rasheans, interrupting a conversation between two villagers, Reid Hershel and Farah Oersted. The two Inferians immediately try to search for the wreckage of the craft, discovering Meredy and Quickie uninjured by the impact of the crash landing. Meredy tries to talk to the two natives, thanking them for helping her and introducing herself in her own native language before realizing that her rescuers cannot understand her words. Reid recognizes that her Craymel Craft is about to explode, and he grabs Meredy to pull her away from the wreckage as the vessel bursts apart. Upon coming into contact with each other, their bodies generate a rainbow aura, causing Reid to go dumbstruck as Meredy hugs him tightly with joy.
Since they cannot overcome the language barrier between their two races, Farah decides to take her to the Elder of Rasheans, Khamran, to determine what must be done for her. Meredy asks the Elder if he knows the location of the Greater Craymels, but her words are met with cold silence as Khamran considers this to be a bad omen. Due to Meredy's dark skin color and strange clothing, he feared that she would bring misfortune upon their village, prompting him to have Meredy cast out of the village for the sake of their continued safety. Before this could be acted upon, however, another unknown individual bursts in through the wall of Khamran's home.
Meredy recognizes the individual to be Hyades, who tells her in their shared language that he has come to get in her way. Hyades proceeds to attack Meredy, causing Reid and Farah to protect her by fighting back against him. They are ultimately successful in repelling the intruder, but Khamran demands for Meredy's removal from the village, seeing the incident as proof of danger caused by sheltering someone so unknown to them. Upon their departure from Rasheans, Reid and Farah decide that they need the help of their childhood friend Keele Zeibel to help with translating Meredy's words, since they have no way to decode her language. They journey to the town of Mintche.
Appearance and Personality
Meredy's playful attitude is reminiscent of a hyperactive child. She jumps on things and dances spontaneously, and she often speaks with incorrect grammar even when her words are finally understood by the party. Her constantly cheerful persona is exasperating to others at times, and she rarely understands that she might be doing wrong or unacceptable things in society. However, she is easily upset if others accuse her or other fellow Celestians of being uncivilized barbarians. Meredy is dedicated to defeating Balir even though the fact that he is her father brings her much pain during her travels. But she is reluctant to show her relation to him, at one point mentioning that a book written by her father was authored by a man named "Transon", the given name Balir had left behind when he gave up his Inferian identity. Once her mother Shizel is revealed to be the cause of all problems blamed on Balir long after his death, her sorrow grows but she still continues on with her mission to defeat the cause of the Grand Fall.
Fighting Style
Meredy is a Craymel Mage with the power to control the Greater Craymels through the use of her Parasol device. Because of this, she has access to high level Craymel Artes, and she can even summon the Greater Craymels themselves during battle. However, her spell selection is dependent on which of the Greater Craymels are stored in her Craymel Cage, which must be fringed with the Craymel Cage that is owned by Keele. Because of this, Meredy can be designed to hold a support and healing role, an offensive spellcasting role, or a mix of both, along with a variety of passive effects that are granted to herself or the whole party through certain Greater Craymel allocations.
Meredy does not fight physically in any way, and her "weapon" of choice is a whistle, which is used to command her pet Quickie to attack the enemy. Although Quickie has no stats associated with it, Quickie's damage will be modified by Meredy's stats. Quickie can attack the enemy even while Meredy is casting a spell, enabling her to deal damage to enemies while immobilized by her spellcasting delay. Quickie cannot be targeted or hit by enemies, and this has the added benefit of allowing Meredy to keep enemies staggered at a distance to ensure her safety while casting spells. All of Meredy's basic attacks involve her directing Quickie to attack, regardless of if she is casting a spell or not, but she can only directly position Quickie while casting a spell. Because of this, Meredy has no means of reducing her spellcasting delay through the same directional inputs that Keele and Max can use. If Quickie is not actively being used, it simply bounces around Meredy during battle, following her as she moves.
- Meredy appears in the Meltokio Coliseum as a member of the enemy party in the final party exhibition match, alongside fellow party member Farah and Garr Kelvin from Tales of Destiny.
- In Tales of Xillia 2, Meredy is mentioned in the job, "You Gotta Help Me!", where she rewards the player with the "Sealed Eternia" weapon, in exchange for an "Aqua Ribbon".

AKA Charley Oweson
I started my career writing psychological horror/suspense and thrillers. I really do enjoy this genre—my favourite to write, if I'm honest—and decided to have a seperate pen name for these so that my Sarah Masters name was known for primarily m/m with het books thrown in every so often. I plan to only write m/m from now on as Sarah, and my hets will be under the name of Natalie Dae.
As Charley, I write gritty, horrible, real-life situations, dealing with murder, child abuse, and many other unpleasant things in life. Some have said those tales are disturbing—and I'd have to agree they are and should be due to the subject matter.
I spent several years studying socio/psychopaths and their actions, and although it sounds warped, I love getting into my character's minds and displaying their vulgarities on the page. The human mind fascinates me, so what better way to explore it than through my writing? These books are not everyone's cup of tea, I realise that, but for those, like me, who enjoy reading about the strange and terrible people in our society, you might want to give them a try.
I had a new nasty novel in mind that turned into an m/m, called Scared. It will be available soon.
If horror and the nasties aren't your bag, maybe my m/m or hets will be!
