"I write erotic suspense and twisted suspense, with horror included ....eventually there will have to name different genres to try and keep up. I love horror and will keep working at it till I scare the hell out of someone...lol!"

"Re: writing "shocking" stuff. There's a market for that, too. It's called "transgressive" fiction. :) Who ever would have thought there was a place for self-castration? But there is. :)  "

Hello,

 

I just joined the Steampunk Writer's Group and wanted to say hello.  (Mostly because I too live in Indianapolis and am interested in anthropology/archaeology. (More specifically, marine archaeology.)

 

So, "Huzzah!" for coincidence. :)

Hi Serra,

 

That's great that you're a three-time nano winner!  Hat's off!  Interesting blog.  I've been to Nazca  and seen the lines and found them fascinating.  I wish I had time to watch your vids in entirety, but I've got a book review to write!

 

All best!
