Has anybody read this book? I got it at Wal-Mart several years ago and got halfway through the second chapter before I lost interest in it. Though that was largely because my mom found it and made a BIG deal about me reading a book like that and what are the people going to think where I bought that from that I read books like THAT, etc. It doesn't really occur to her that these kinds of books are published because they WANT people to buy them and read them and the stores agree to sell them because they think customers WILL buy them. I still have it somewhere though and plan to pick it up again someday.

I wouldn't advice myself to read it given the stuff I tend to write.

I've never read any of your stuff, what kind of stuff do you write?

^^^^Usually violent stuff about broken families being targetted by serial killers.(Or sometimes so slightly less nefarious antagonist, but still one who ends up causing some damage.) Last thing I need is something to give me inspiration to have my next killer be a pint-sized maniac. lol It's the logical next step and I probably should be steering my work away from the corpsepiles. (Especially after the book I wrote last summer. )

I like stories about serial killers, true crime, crime fiction, horror, don't make much difference to me. I'm trying to write one myself but I hit the wall a couple weeks back, I want to do one that looks at the possibility of a second Phantom Killer emerging 50 years after the Texarkana Moonlight Murders.

If you got the drive, I am sure you can do it! "Like" is probably a poor word to describe my feelings about serial killer fiction. I guess, "interested" describes it better? lol I just know if I read about evil killer kids, I'm going to get another idea and it's going to lead to a lot more bloodshed in the pages of my writing. And I am trying to go on a fiction corpse diet. IDK if what I've written already is any good, but it does have quite the body count. I gotta try to ease up on my poor characters. >:-)

I prefer the suspense and the detective work angles of the stories, trying to find this bastard before he finds his next victim, and where is he going to strike again, and who, all the guesswork.

Not sure if I really focus on that and not. I do, but I don't? Confused yet? lol But yeah, I gots lots of blood. I can only imagine what I'd do with a psycho kid. Oy ve.
