It was in memory of a dear friend that I wrote THE SECRET BUTTERFLY SERIES(TM). I tried to imagine what her life might have been like had she been born into wealth before choosing her path in life, like the Marty character in the SERIES. Through Marty, I imagined my friend came back to me and followed her dream of becoming a star of intimate artistry. Her soul now lives with mine. It moves forward through time in the personas of Series' characters Barbara, Sheila, Cecilia, Connie, Jo Anne, Linda, Pattie, Sandra, and the others. The soul that arose in my friend has long walked alongside humanity's progress. It blessed humankind from across the millennia when it assumed the personas of Astarte, Sarah, Jessabelle, Salome, Cleopatra, and the others.The history of the Series' secret jewels intersects with the lives of its characters. Human life, debauchery, and depravity intertwine. Reflecting on what I wrote, I wonder whether characters Susan and Marvin's choices project justifications for my own choices? Could Susan's soul's quest actually be my own? Why was I compelled to describe Marty's explicit feelings while she seduced? Why was I so descriptive of her rapture while she murdered? Reaching my friend's soul required learning how spirits relate to humans. They communicate with us through the butterflies! It's true. I'm certain of it. Bertie's character illustrates the phenomenon. It happened with me as it did with her character. By relating to my friend's spirit in this straightforward way, I brought her soul to me. Now I can see her again and embrace her. We are together and happy again.I write because I enjoy writing. My writing interest grew from reading different authors. I read novels and enjoyed the stories. After some years I developed a fascination over how authors could express ideas and emotions through writing. I started seeing people differently. I tried understanding their characters and imagining what motivated them to be the way they were. I imagined what a character might be like if it were allowed to express its nature in different, fictional permutations of itself. Then, I began writing. While writing, I place my mind into the story, or saga, as I did in the SECRET BUTTERFLY SERIES(TM), and I let writing become part of my life. I felt compelled to move my three-volume saga (Passion; Insanity; Resurrection) forward; advance it to its conclusion. But, where I might have concluded first eleven SERIES books after LOVE AND LOVERS(c), the eleventh book of the romantic, erotically filled Passion volume, I thought that would be disloyal to our characters' souls and their butterflies' spirits. I decided I needed to keep our precious characters alive, as they continued living through their tempest tossed Insanity Volume. Finally, I needed to reincarnate them; give them new hopes and lives. And, I did. MURDER PROPERLY DONE(c); LOVE AND MADNESS(c); AND BUTTERFLY LOVE(c) complete the Insanity volume of the SERIES. AND CRIMSON MARIPOSA(c); CRIMSON AND PINK(c); LUST WHEELS(c); AND YES FOR LOVE(c), book eighteen, finish the Resurrection Volume of the SERIES. And OMEGA, THE END(c), bookends it. The three volumes complete my grand, secular antidote to religion as lived by the spiritual soul of heroine Marty. Now, I will step away from SERIES and write an entirely different story. I will next write about a lonely little girl and her feral cat friend. But my Series characters are still with me. They've taken up residence in my mind. I may revisit them. I don't know. But for now, I have done what I could for them. I've brought them to life for my readers and I have nurtured them. Now, I believe I must trust them to find their own ways with my readers. Writing! This compulsion to write has become my addiction; like smoking, drinking, gambling, and nymphomania are for others. But it is an addiction I enjoy. I do not wish to shake it.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Marty reveals her immoral, guilt free core. How, she casually muses, is destroying another woman's family any different from eating scrambled eggs? Both feel wonderful! But she struggles with her own abortion dilemma. It's her self-inflicted reality. She smells the coffee. 'How much time do I have? Might I still gain David's intimacy? Haven't I done enough? What more can there be? Finally! He says he's ready! 'YES!' While waiting for her reward bunny, Marty notices her diamond neckless hanging from a barn nail. She hears the pigs squealing and grunting frantically; and banging against the barn's side door. 'Why doesn't he feed them?' She inhales pleasantly cool air. 'What's happened, David? Why is everything spinning? Why are my legs chained?' When David reveals that he saw her telltale finger nub, a sudden realization chills her. 'How long have you known, Mother? When were you going to tell me? Or, weren't you? Surely you knew where this would take me! Damn you, Mother! How could you? Where are you, David? Come back here! This isn't funny anymore!' Hello, dear listeners. This is Minna Morinette, your narrator. In LOVE AND LOVERS, David put Marty in chains. Why such shocking behavior? Is he a closet psychopath? Will his ingenious crime methods be discovered? What gears and wheels turn in the mind of this deviant sociopath? Maybe we'll learn how someone can commit heinous crimes and believe he's perfectly normal while he is doing them. David's comments about how the world works reveal his vicarious reality warp that is without beginning or end. While Marty visited David, Barbara revealed a few secrets to Bob. He now understands that someone set him up to be the fall guy for misappropriated funds and possibly much more; but whom? Diligent researcher Barbara uncovered the truth about Marty's activities outside the office. She removed the scales from Bob's eyes. He realizes his love when first sighting Barbara was true love all along. Barbara never doubted her conviction. He did. And Barbara understood why. She forgave him. The two lovers reunite but they are in a very delicate position. Barbara suspects foul play on a murderous scale; but fearing for Bob's safety, she holds back key information. We'll soon dive into a deep rabbit hole, dear readers, and listeners. We'll trip horror triggers that will make you gasp and scream 'STOP!' But, to understand how David's plunge from sociopathy into psychopathy takes our characters' lives along for the ride, we must flutter through this storm. It's a huge one. We cannot fly around it. We'll see depraved insanity at its basest level, as David's mind derails. We can brave this storm together; I know we can. It will be worth it. We'll learn about psycho behavior. Our skies will beautifully brighten afterwards; promise. We've encountered other storms as we've fluttered through our series. This will be our most challenging. Let's not forget: Marty feared Barbara for a reason. Will Bob discover that secretive Barbara is the most seductive minx of all? Won't Bob be surprised to learn her ways; how irresistible she is? Will the smoldering embers that Bob always carried for her suddenly burst into raging flames? Will Bob finally have the life he wanted? Can he follow where his soul wants to go? Come flutter with me as I narrate: MURDER PROPERLY DONE, the twelfth book of THE SECRET BUTTERFLY SERIES. Evil is exposed. But this is not ordinary evil. It's evil of a special kind. It's the kind of evil that's poured into a child's mind and reinforced and rewarded all his life.It's evil beyond anything psycho. It's evil unique to David. This item is printed on demand.
