I’m a huge fan of writing about tortured and driven men and angst situations. I seem to have gravitated towards this, using teens kicked out of home, grief, child abuse and prostitution, Stockholm Syndrome, kidnapping, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicide as elements of my stories. I’m also a lover of the supernatural, the paranormal and witchcraft and sorcery. It’s no real surprise that my books offer a lot of this.
