about me

MAYBELLE, 18, neurotic, possibly insane. How can I describe myself? I love God in a very personal way; I am fascinated with all manifestations of ecstasy and passion, life and death. I am afraid of mirrors and my own shadow, but I am trying to improve at living. Living is one thing I am not very good at.

I hope you enjoy your time here and find my writing useful. I write poetry, short stories, and occasional novels; my favourite genres are romance, fantasy, and science fiction. Be warned, as my writing leans towards a dark nature at times, so younger audiences should watch out. I have written tales about psychotic killers, adultery, unnatural relationships, and outer space. I think I enjoy the dark side a bit too much.

Thank you. I've never heard of Perceforest but it sounds fascinating! I actually got the idea for this Sleeping Beauty from reading an essay on the actual tale itself, and from "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" (I'll confess). I always thought the tale had many interesting qualities, particularly wi... view book

Thank you so much for pointing out the typos! I didn't even know it was there until I re-read my stories. I used "a black little death" because I wanted to refer to "little death" which is an English translation of the french expression "la petite mort" = "orgasm".

Sorry, I meant "you CAN do lots of character development and maturation with her." - in the last line. I'll continue this later when I finish reading. I also like William - seems as though he will someday get what he deserves... view book
