I live in a village where people still care about each other, largely.
I really care about my readers. I care about anyone who reads my books.
Let's just say that I was raised by my grandparents.
The dark book has been terribly popular. Dark characters, dysfunction, and all sorts of things from reality that are true in our world.
The significant, life-forming times are the dull, in-between times.
And it can be a way of healing.
