The duality of criminology
What if I actually acted on my darkest thought in my youth?
A Dialogue Among United Darkness was that one story that was needed to purge out of my system. This story was something that tugging at me for the longest time because it was one of the darkest moments in my teen years. It’s not a moment that I’m particularly proud of and the fact that I’m willing to relive it all is a big step for me. Now, let me start from the beginning.
After waiting for so long, a prolific crime writer gets to have his coveted interview with an infamous killer. But the two of them seem to have a lot more in common – and more connected – than they realize.

The duality of Knowledge
As you may already know from previous entries, I was bullied for a copious amount of reasons, both in and out of my family. Interestingly enough, it was always because of my intelligence and my willingness to learn new things. Moreover, I got most of the bullying from my family – mostly my cousins – because they were more determined to change me into something they can approve of. The key thing they wanted me to change was my passion for knowledge i.e. me being a bookworm. Reflecting on this gave me an interesting premise for Knowledge Flaunted.
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.
It’s amazing how entitled some men can be towards the opposite sex. But one man will come to realize that the same level of entitlement can go both ways.

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.
When there’s a crime that threatening the life of a child, they are called to make sure that it ceases. They have a high success rate but it’s not what you think when it comes down to the operatives.

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.
