The government has made it a law now. Everybody has to take an IQ test before they are allowed to work and one man has to be the one to administer it despite how he really feels about it all.

The duality of a womanizer.
What if there was a way to punish womanizers?
I remember being told that it’s not illegal to be a jerk. It was during a seminar about narcissism and dealing with them in the legal system. They (psychologist) enlightened me – and everybody who tuned it – that the judge doesn’t care about the diagnosis as their dockets are pretty full unless it’s already been filed and presented. Furthermore, it’s technically not illegal to be an insufferable arsehole. The same can be said about womanizers. It’s not illegal but it’s sure as hell immoral and deplorable. But the inspiration behind The Woes of Men and Sex came far before watching that seminar. Actually, it took place in college.
Respect your kids. Too many adults DEMAND respect from kids without showing any respect in return. Doesn’t work.

The duality of kids.
I never thought I would have a story where the protagonist is a child. Usually, I try to refrain from such a practice because I don’t feel comfortable putting an innocent child in such a dire situation. Kids are special and their lives should be filled with love, joy, compassion, and fun. No child should have to go through the misery I put some of my characters through. But, then, I got to thinking. What if I do just that and have another child serve as the hero? That simple question was how I created Childhood Lost…and Found.

The duality of Alex Hardison
What if Alex Hardison didn’t have empathy?
Leverage has always been one of my favorite TV shows and Alex Hardison was the reason why (click here to learn more). He was like me in almost every single way as he was nerdy and funny with a loving heart. Not only that he was African American and sexy as all holy hell. I seriously had a big crush on him – and the actor – from the very beginning of the series. Looking back on that character, I had one question that led me to this question: What if Alex Hardison was evil? Well, “evil-ish” but you get my point. Nevertheless, the results were the same as A Sociopath’s Con ended up being created.
Feminism…is not ‘women as victims’ but women refusing to be victims.”

The duality of feminism
What if I could seek justice against my cousin for his torment towards me?
I was having way too much fun with creating Maya, the focal character behind “A Woman’s Worth“, that I decided to create a prequel of sorts for her character. Nothing too big as I wanted to save the rest for the series that I have planned for her. It’s interesting because I originally wanted a new character for the story and run with that. But when Natasha, a friend of mine, read the story she saw that the two characters had a lot of things in common aside from the fact that they are powerful women.

The duality of feminism
What if you could properly punish a person for lying about being raped?
Oh, you have no idea how much fun I had with this story. It was a story that was begging to be told and I can’t tell you how much darker I originally wanted the story to be. Oh, wait…I can actually. I wanted there to be a public execution but thought that was too much for the point that I was trying to convey to my audience. I was riding high on the #METOO movement and cheering with the real feminist that made it possible for all those terrible human beings to be put behind bars. Alas, we still have a long way to go. You know…one step forward, two steps back. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well…
