Produktbeschreibung

This is book thirteen of the SECRET BUTTERFLY SERIES, and the second book of the SERIES' INSANITY VOLUME. It tells of the unraveling of a mysterious murder and how Barbara sets in motion her revenge plot. Make no mistake about her character. Outwardly she is mysterious, silent, ever efficient, ever watchful; but there's another side to Barbara's character. She's a Do Gooder type who likes good people to receive good treatment and bad people to receive bad treatment. She is native Lakota Sioux who has trained herself to think in both the ways of the Lakota and the ways of the Whites. And she is diabolical and clever. Her spirit soul responds to the outreach of Marvin's ghost. Entering this wondrous, spiritual world, she loses her moral inhibitions and has intimate relations with Marvin's spirit. She learns freedom from her moral teachings and accepts what is natural to her human condition. Marvin confesses his disappointment with his son, David. Barbara feels justified by the spirit world for what she desperately wants to achieve: Justice for Marty. She wants David punished for what he did. But her Lakota ethics do not allow her to murder David. He is not properly her kill. That right belongs to Marty's mother, Susan. Discover how Barbara ignites a revenge motive in Susan; See a never before revealed aspect of David's character when he begs for his life. Ah, Susan! Will you return to your Christian roots? Will you show compassion and forgiveness? Discover why the elk hunters are hearing the howls of the Lobo.

LOVE AND MADNESS is about revelation, evil, catharsis, revenge, and atonement. Discover how easy it is for anyone to be completely wrong about someone based upon preconceived prejudices. Discover the miracles of understanding and forgiveness. Discover the ultimate truths of human needs and freedom. And discover how love becomes unrestricted and boundless.

Autorenporträt

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, Baaleezebelle, 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©, 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©; LOVE AND MADNESS©; AND BUTTERFLY LOVE© complete the Insanity volume of the SERIES. AND CRIMSON MARIPOSA©; CRIMSON AND PINK©; LUST WHEELS©; AND YES FOR LOVE©, book eighteen, finish the Resurrection Volume of the SERIES. And OMEGA, THE END©, bookends it. The three volumes complete my grand, secular antidote to religion as lived by the spiritual soul of heroine Marty.
