My book is about a mythical small town in Alabama, where "nothing is what it seems." My serial killer is odd, but not actually a serial killer in that he is more of an opportunist who is able to rationalize the removal of those who are inconveriently in his way. He doesn't plan his crimes and he takes no pleasure in the act itself. Charlie/Charlene is one odd dude, though. I found my other villian, my fanatic, even more interesting to recreate, requiring more of my actual background than Charlie. You would probably find Beaufort Falls very interesting.
From what I have heard about the true sociopath, the infliction of pain upon others is methodical and planned, and may in some ways be an attempt by the sociopath to find a level at which he or she feels some real emotion. I was fortunate and while doing my internship for my MS with sexually molested children I never met the perpetrators, and never encountered a true sociopath. It is a very interesting field of study. I found my deepest interest was in schizophrenia, but I never actually worked in the field after my ten months of internship. I volunteered for the Family Violence Center in Canton GA for 3 1/2 years as their night and weekend shelter director, but once again, I worked with the victims, and avoided the perps like the plague.
I love writing about the unlikely and different, and my actual background is a bit different as well. http://www.beaufortfalls.com/Page2.html My family was a part of Atlanta. Now I'm trying to make sense of this VERY strange LA area.
Have you just finished a book about a serial killer? How did you get into interior decorating?
Just wanted to stop in and get your opinion on my latest cover design posted to my blog...
I would love your input.
