What's it like to look into the mind of a killer?

What’s it like to look into the mind of a killer?

Posted Wednesday, June 10, 2009 by Tammie King - Night Owl Romance in

Thank you Tammie and NOR readers for allowing me to share this time with you.

What would you do if a killer were hunting you? What if you’re child was the target? What if the killer was someone you knew?

What’s it like to look into the mind of a killer?

Ask any author who writes dark, romantic suspense and they’ll tell you, it ain’t no walk in the park at times.

I think even for writers who create fictitious killers it’s still a little disturbing to consider that there are really such depraved people living in the world amongst us. To make a believable killer you have to do your homework.

To quote Friedrich Nietzsche:

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

For me, I love to watch Forensic Files and 48 Hours Mystery on TV. You can gain a great deal of knowledge into the mind of a killer simply by studying old case files. I know it’s certainly been insightful for me.

So why do people kill? Well, most psychologists will tell you there are two fundamental reasons someone will take another life.

Love and money.

Both truly are the root of all things evil.

In SILENT WITNESS, my latest release from Cerridwen Press, the killer was someone who loved the story’s heroine, Faith McKenzie obsessively, and was willing to do anything to make her his, even if it meant killing her to keep her from belonging to anyone else.

But there is another type of killer that is far more evil and cunning than all others. He’s extremely intelligent. He can blend into society well enough to be your co-worker, your high school English teacher. Your neighbor next door. He lacks anything resembling a conscience. He’s a sociopath known as the serial killer.

The FBI estimates that today there are some 50 active serial killers working among us in the US alone. That’s a frightening statistic to consider.

In ROOT OF ALL EVIL, my upcoming release from Cerridwen Press, my heroine, Anna Sorenson comes face to face with a serial killer like none other. Anna tries to escape his deadly trap. She walks from everything to gain redemption. But she doesn’t quite leave the past behind and as Anna soon learns, even in paradise evil still exists.

For me, writing about the dark side of romance is both rewarding and challenging. The characters I create leave their mark on you and make it hard to move on to the next story.

And if they’re really chilling, like in ROOT OF ALL EVIL, they make it hard to sleep with the lights off at night.

All the best…

The Things You Think You Want Giveaway...

I'm extending the deadline for autographed copy of The Things You
Think You Want through the weekend. I'll announce the winner at the
beginning of the week.
For details on how to win, just go to my website and look under the
contest link:

Blue Ribbon Rating: 5 from Jhayboy at Romance Junkies:

Carrie Sinclair, owner of the small catering firm Carrie's Creative
Catering is not in the market for any man. After her last disastrous
relationship the one man that takes up any of her time is her cat -
Max. When she meets Tyler Benedict at a function that she was
catering, she thinks what the hell – everyone deserves a second shot
at happiness.

Tyler Benedict is not a safe bet for any girl, he knows it and he
quickly lets Carrie knows that he can't promise her more than the
here and now. When emotion burns hotter than common sense, they both
leap into a relationship that is tangled in more compromises and
avoidance than is needed to maintain a healthy relationship.

Both Tyler and Carrie want more from the relationship than they have,
but with a father who is not happy about the relationship between his
son and a woman not from their social class and an aunt whose only
concern is for the niece she loves – can they make it work?

For fan looking for a story with a plot, and a story that goes the
distance, you will not be disappointed in Ms. Eason's THE THINGS YOU
THINK YOU WANT. Carrie could be any woman wanting to find happiness
and is willing to overlook a lot of things to make this happen. While
she has the general up and downs of life, nosy family and an even
nosier friend, she knows where to draw the line when her principles
are stepped on and her patience is tested to its limit.

Tyler is a fantastic personality, sexy, macho and confident about
what he wants, and what he wants is Carrie. He is the first to admit
to not being able to commit to a relationship. However when he no
longer has what he thinks he didn't want, he soon realize that what
he wants was always his to have.

Ms Eason brilliance is highlighted by the twist and turn of the plot
and her characters ability to adjust to everything that's thrown at
them. THE THINGS YOU THINK YOU WANT is a very enjoyable read.

To Anyone Who’s Ever Picked Up A Paranormal Romance And Fallen n Love...

..

To anyone who's ever picked up a paranormal romance book and fallen in love...Here's another excerpt from: Everything But Goodbye: my upcoming November 1st release from Champagne Books

Prince Viktor Brincoveanu gazed into the murky waters of the lake while the breeze stirring the trees above him seemed to whisper her name.
Gabrielle'.
Her presence embraced him. He could almost feel her, touch her. Taste her. If he closed his eyes, she would be there, as always, never far from him.
It was both a blessing and a curse that this constancy still had the power to bring useless tears to his eyes after all these years. But then, it had been this hope, the hope that one day she would return to him, that had given him the strength to endure all the long empty years of darkness. The will to survive the nightmare of his existence.
His life.
Her memory would be forever branded in his heart.

All the best...

A Howl-A-Ween Treat!

For hundreds of years, he's waited for her to be reborn. But can Jessie Seville accept love from a mysterious man who claims to have her best interests at heart.

Three hundred years before Jessie Seville's birth the Curse of the Lamia fell upon the dark mysterious land of Romania and all but destroyed the Royal Brincoveanu family. It was a curse that truly knew no boundaries, not even the royal blood of its own prince.

Your Every Desire

Your Every Desire...

Okay, now that I've captured your attention, I thought I'd spend a couple of days featuring some of my books.
Today, I'm featuring Your Every Desire, available through Whiskey Creek Press

Kylie Monroe had been in love with Aaron Winters from the very first moment she came face-to-face with the most amazing blue eyes in Texas. Aaron had practically launched Kylie's business, Your Every Desire Party Planners and Sweet Shop, into success when his firm hired her to cater their annual Christmas party where she and Aaron became friends. Unfortunately, Kylie definitely wasn't Aaron's type; he only dated models. A single night spent in each other's arms changes all of that. But can Kylie trust Aaron when he tells her that it meant more to him than simply mending his broken heart?

Reviews For YOUR EVERY DESIRE by Mary Eason
A Night Owl Romance Reviewer Top Pick! Rating 4.5. "The plot is well paced and believable. Kylie assumes that Aaron would only date or care about models as that is who he is seen with. Aaron has gotten past that point and is looking for more. As they find that their relationship is ready to move on to something more than buddies, real life is still there. The situations which the characters find themselves in are those which could happen to anyone. After all, how often do couples have both sets of parents expecting them for a holiday? Or business calls when you would rather be trying to work out a problem or issue?

Even the secondary characters had charm and interest. Sarah likes to party and go to the trendy clubs but is supportive of Kylie and her interests. Mariah is getting older but still looks years younger than she actually is. She's looking for a sugar daddy and all the attention, yet still cares about Kylie. Aaron's sisters really care about him to the point of dropping in unannounced while Kylie's family is trying to figure out why she just didn't get married after high school. They make the story come alive and cement the characters into real life." Terri, Night Owl Romance
