Simple words I am a collector of facts. Every book I have begun to read I have a bad habit of analyzing for character POV, and description. In some ways it has helped me to come to terms with my wordiness. Hemingway, Hemingway, Hemingway, sorry, just stuck in my head. What I am discovering is the thrill of creation through words. My characters are begging to be unleashed to the world, especially this nagging nemesis, David Hellyner. Blackbeard move over, you got real competition . Expect my book to be done sometime this year. It called "A Baser Kingdom". Its has myth and history and horror combined. Because I enjoy logical truths, I hope to challenge your concept of everything in creation.
Part of my book:
"I soon discovered my eternity lay not in waiting, but being reborn through science. A science that dealt with the study of snakes and other reptiles. It was no genius of my own. My pleasures were contained in the flesh, but my greed for life was my motive for a cure to this long waiting for death. I am Gilles de Retz (Rais) , born in 1404 at Machecoul, near the border of Brittany. I once was a French noble, soldier, and one time brother-in-arms of Joan of Arc. Later I was accused and ultimately convicted of infanticide - torturing, raping and murdering dozens, if not hundreds, of children. They tried to kill me, but I escaped. Bluebeard took the iron coffin in my stead. They hung,burned and put him in a iron coffin, but I still escaped." I sadistic grin came to the corners of his lips as he paused for a brief moment in the excitement of retelling the tale. Hellyner locked the Iron doors, Bettys eyes bulged in terror. Clearing his throat , he continued his story.
