I grew up in Europe, in a wonderfully diverse country filled with magically induced superstitions and the mystical beliefs of the old. The ancient tales that were told there, the basis to many of our fairytales, I learned were meant to frighten children. Strangely enough, all these beloved tales hold a semblance of truth in their dark depths.
The stories I write hold that essence, where the darkness of life borders on the edge of sunset and where the dead savor or regret those long and lonely hours until the sun rises on the horizon.
Where every soul has a chance at redemption....
Oh, just a quick note--I do write 'normal' romances and an occasional cookbook.
