Why I Execute Characters

Like I said, my kinks are really just that.

As far as my novels, I'm actually extremely soft hearted, it's just that nobody ever sees that. I may be numbed a little bit by my abuse my parents and society did to me, but they are there.

I have a fascination for French murderesses, because I'm against the death penalty in real life. I find that the best way to illustrate that point is building characters you like around that context, and see whether you would actually be against it when you're right there.

I want to build the broken bird. I want to get to know her, to find that little girl inside her that was lost all those years ago. I want to bring that light to the surface.

Be a therapist for my MCs, then kill them. So I can truly understand the gravity of executing someone I like. It isn't just I have a kink for beheading French girls in fiction, I also have an emotional incentive to feel like I've lost a friend.

To know that I really care. When you doubt your own faculties for so long, sometimes that's the only social life you'll get.

French as in France, not French as in linguistics.
