Someone else might have killed these creatures a
long time ago, but not me. Luckily for them, something stops me from doing this
deadly deed. I’ll curse and I’ll plot revenge, but I stop at murder. Why? It’s
because I’m made of something different. I’m not predisposed to extreme violence.
I don’t have murder’s genetics. I didn’t have a disruptive childhood that ignited
some deadly genetic make-up. I’ve never received a head injury that caused
specific brain damage, which in theory might have led to a change in
personality. I don’t have low levels of serotonin or high levels of
testosterone.
Those of you who have done the dirty on me should be
grateful that I don’t possess murderer’s attributes. However, be warned! I am a
cool, calm, calculated crime writer who takes her time plotting comeuppance.
I’m fascinated by forensics and profiling. I enjoy
building suspense and creating atmosphere. Without drive, passion and ‘weird
twats’ in my life, I wouldn’t feel quite so compelled to write – especially in
first person! Without you, I’d have given up writing a long time ago and I’d
have run out of ideas. I do feel sorry for those sad cases who steal work from aspiring
authors. You are not ‘real’ writers, but great big imposters? It’s about time you considered another day
job.....
