~+Immortal_Benediction+~ http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Lioness_DeWinter Underground Fiction Writer. Most of my work is in the Gothic/vampire vein, but make no mistake...this is not Twilight, True Blood, or The Vampire Diaries. Vampires do NOT sparkle. I LOATHE SANITIZED MONSTERS!!! My tales are very dark, passionate and bloody, laced with my own weird brand of humor. I like to think that my characters are very human, with flaws and weaknesses like everyone else. I tend to focus on the darker side of life, the secret side that few people dare to encounter. Santeria, prostitutes, old magic, fallen angels, dark secretive sex in an abandoned alley. New Orleans is the perfect setting, with its colorful history and old world charm, for my vampires, prostitutes, religious vigilanties, fallen angels, and deities walking the earth in human form. My "Boys" are tender with each other, loving, kind...but they have no use for the stupid sheep of humanity. My work is NOT for evil Christian psychopaths, homophobes, or children...oops, same thing (no offense to the many COOL Christians out there). It contains graphic sex and violence. Current work: "Southern Cross" (book, sequel to "The Scent Of Jasmine", unfinished.) "The Scent Of Jasmine" (short story/book). Vampires/immortals/fallen angels/prostitues/religious vigilantes. The story of the vampire Matthias, who strives to become more human as he falls deeply in love with the beautiful Timothy. Poor Matty, so overwhelmed by the new emotions which are so strange to him!) Older Works: "Sky" (short story, with an American Indian flavor) "Anniversary" (short story, Gothic as you can get) "Vino" (short story, from a condemned werewolf's point of view) ALL WORK IS COPYRIGHTED.
