Being a Southerner, Im interested in sex, violence, religion and all the things that make life interesting.
Karin SlaughterI grew up reading crime fiction and, especially in the '80s, women were just there to be saved or screwed.

Karin SlaughterI was with a real jerk after the first heartbreak, and once I did the prerequisite eating an entire cake and singing "All By Myself" in the shower, I realized that people treat you badly when you let them, and that I had to respect myself and not let anyone else treat me that way again. If someone really loves you, they are your biggest champion, not your biggest detractor.
