One Night a Year  
Andie Lee Eames. 

We have to hide from humans. We were here first! Though we hide we still control your behavior to a point. You have the audacity to refer to us as monsters then you go out and create a multitude of deities to hide behind. In case you haven’t noticed I don’t like humans, but I do like playing with you. I am Angus The Bruff, head of the Tuatha De Danna tribe. I’ll make it is easier for you. It means the ever living ones. We are from this earth and of the magical veil that surrounds it.

Don’t get me wrong, not all of you are bad but you’re weak. I respect the purity of some of you. I can hear you now, ‘Babies are innocent.’ No, they’re not! Sorry, I laugh every time I hear that. They’re recycled dead people that don’t gain a soul until they’re two years old.

I don’t get excited often. I’m over a thousand years old, so it takes a lot to excite me. Once a year I get to play with the worst among you. When I say ‘play’ I mean evisceration. The things I do would make Jack The Ripper look like an amateur. Speaking of old Jackie boy. I think I’ll let him out to join in my games. I can smell the evil that permeants through them like burning sulfur.

Well, I’d like to stay and chat with you a little more but I’ve got places to be and monsters to meet their demise. I can walk around you in my true androgynous appearance to lurr in people of all ilks.

If you cross my path pray you smell like roses otherwise it’s the slash for you.

Abstract Murder

Abstract Murder is a disturbing psychological suspense tale told from the view points of various characters. The characters speak directly to the reader taking them into the dark recesses of dangerous minds while calling into question the validity of good and evil. If you liked “Pulp Fiction & Silence of the Lambs” then you’ll love Abstract Murder which is told in flash forwards, backs, and present time. A high concept thriller not for the faint of heart and one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride. There are three different killers and you’ll get to see what made them that way.
