Author has written 37 stories for Romance, Supernatural, Love, Life, General, Horror, Sci-Fi, Action, Spiritual, War, Fantasy, and Western. 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. -x- Dec. 21, 2009: I GOT AUTHONOMY! Feel free to visit http://authonomy.com/Profile.aspx?userid=8e1ab8fe-cd57-4077-9477-467958ffa991. My username is "Shimmer Light". -x- :Stories in Progress: Masquerade: Welcome to the Cirque du Saturne, a dark and twisted world of pagan revelry, decadence, and deceit... a world where love is passionate and vengeance is sweet. After her father's death, Lucy arrives here to perform as a trapeze artist. She falls into a deep and passionate relationship with the Ringmaster - who, later, reveals some dark secrets of his own. However, their love is not without consequence; it's consuming and controlling, destructive and desecrating. She is caught up in the Ringmaster's power struggle between himself and the circus crew- a struggle that will culminate into rape, murder, and a final ruthless revenge. :Recently Finished: Gentle Awakening: Erotic retelling of the awakening of Sleeping Beauty... not for the faint-hearted! But it will explore some of the sexual complexes and undertones - including necrophilia, sadism, Oedipus complex, within the tale. The Night Song: He's in love with a galaxy, and he wants to plunge deep into its core... a fantasy, fictionalized setting of outer space that's somewhat darker than the one we know; this is a world where "phantoms howl" and "black prisms" reflect your steely gaze. :Coming Up!: El Bravado: Valera, a young lady expelled from boarding school, joins a band of highway robbers... swashbuckling adventure filled with sparkling wine and lace ruffles and gorgeously dashing swords. However, where will Valera's loyalty ultimately lie? And what will she make of André, the dashing "leader" of the highwaymen? The Pianist and the Murderer: He sold his soul to the devil, and soaked his melodies with blood. Revebrations: "When I play music I dive into an abstract world that is infantile and naïve, that drips raindrop notes against paned glass and scatters rays through my heart. Among the dazzling whorls of light, I comb the fragile snowdrops of a Bach meditation, and hang a winter moon on Chopin sky... " | |||||||||||||||
