Inspiration To Commit Murder
Who commits murder anyway?
Anyone.
It could be me… or you.
That tattooed guy in the torn leather jacket with a scar on his face is an obvious villain. Clearly, he’s a crime awaiting sentencing.
‘He’s the killer officer! Cuff ‘im!’
Ooops! Did we just land in a cliche by tripping over a stereotype?
Fairy tale endings are for pussies. Everyone gets what they feel they should get at around the time they need it but life isn't like that.
Crime doesn't always come with dreamy crime endings. *Wink*

Dark Fiction At It's Best!
Here is where sanity and insanity meet - creating one dissociation after another until one dangerous situation exists exactly where and when it shouldn't.
What's real? What's not?
Mitchell's a cameraman who wants to capture the greatest night-lightning photo of all but something else is in the forest with him. There was a shadow, a sound.
On this side of reality they were nothing more than fleeting shadows but those shadows always manage to leave a body behind too.
In a storm enraged city, a vile creature grows, hunting innocent victims on the nights of great thunderstorms.

I killed once. I’ll kill again.
You can blame any kind of mental dysfunction for such a crime, for no sane person would commit cold murder. But a broken mind looks like any other.
Perhaps our ancestor’s understood mental illnesses a little better—the reasons why some people can’t be cured and locking the maddest minds away in asylums solved much—the sick from persecution, the families from public embarrassment and innocent women… from men like me…

Sexless marriage? Maybe you married an asexual!
Don’t laugh. It can be true.
If you’re living in a sexless marriage and you’re the partner suffering from not having enough sex, it’s possible you’ve found yourself an asexual mate.
First, let’s get some numbers on the table. A sexless marriage is determined as one having sex less than ten times a year.
Around 1% of the population is said to be asexual. That’s about the same as the amount for gay and lesbians.
Asexuality means, in general human terms, no sex.
An asexual person doesn’t require or need sex. Like same-sex individuals, asexuals often find themselves in traditional relationships believing coupling is a part of a 'normal' life. By the time asexuality has been discovered, the individual finds themselves married and, sometimes, with children.
Few asexuals are aware of their sexuality. It's not until a spouse complains is an inquiry made. Many couples never raise the question at all. Others refuse to acknowledge the problem much less the issues surrounding it.
There’s no cure for asexuality, just as there’s no ‘cure’ for homosexuality. It’s not a disease and impossible to repair what’s not broken.
Open discussion through professional counseling should be the first port of call. A third party will help encourage a balanced discussion during session.
Thanks for staying on.

Killers Walk Among Us.
Killers Walk Among Us
Killers Walk Among Us. It’s as simple as that!
In a perfect world where a rainbow’s end is lined with gold, evil doers simply don’t exist. But in this world they do. They are expected to be arrested and do time. They are to be banished and vanished from sight so we’ll all sleep better at night.
Not all killers are caught.
That’s right. You read it right. Some of the best won’t be found. The best of the best will be anyone and stay that way. They’ll be anyone because a killer is not obvious to everyone. They won’t be obvious because they’ll fit in. It’s effortless for them to live a dual life. That’s why they are anyone among everyone.
You think they’re shadowy figures sneaking from rock to rock? You’re right! But those ones do time. If they’re not doing time now, they’ll be doing time very soon. It’s just a matter of time. It’s the other killer that doesn’t use shadows who needs watching the most. This one walks with confidence, looks you in the eye when they talk and dresses to match any occasion just perfectly. They are intelligent, genuine and outwardly caring. It’s what goes on in their heads between all that orderly presentation that makes them different. They shake your hand with a smile but imagine dismembering your body all the while.
Don’t shudder. This is not fiction written by a crazy mind, this is life from an open one. Killers do walk among us. It’s true.
Claremont Serial Killer
This Sunday night, a current affairs programme will broadcast a detailed update on the Claremont Serial Killer. It’s almost 20 years since the first of three victims were taken. The piece currently advertised on TV as What Happens To Serial Killers Who Don’t Get Caught? is due to air on the SUNDAY NIGHT programme (31 May, 2015) at 8:50 on Channel 7. (No link provided to show as yet but link to SUNDAY NIGHT home site is here)
The reason I bring word of this to my blog is for two reasons:
The Prologue in my novel SEETHINGS is in the vein of What Happens To Serial Killers Who Don’t Get Caught?
I was passed information earlier this week about someone who says she works with the Claremont Serial Killer.
1. My prologue asks this same question, going some way to explain what’s to happen in the pages that follow. They answer that one question about what happens to it’s serial killer. You’re not going to like the answer but you’re going to love the book!
2. The Claremont Serial Killer?
It has been known for quite some time that he works in the public service, with roads. All employees who work in this area have been told by their supervisors that the Claremont Serial Killer works somewhere within their building. They don’t point him out or mention his name but they make it known so no one is caught out being alone anywhere for any length of time. It’s kind of an off-the-books duty of care arrangement put in place by the administration.
The question we all may ask immediately: If they know who it is why don’t the police just pick him up?
The answer isn’t so simple otherwise they would’ve done that. My guess is a case isn’t able to be made. Chinese whispers are one thing but sending someone away for life based on them is another. There is a process that must be followed and I suppose they can’t engage any of it without something backfiring. Sending a killer free in-law isn’t what any of us want!
Channel Seven claims a significant breakthrough has been made since the recent 2008 re-investigation. It suggests that whatever blocked its path has now been cleared and the killer will be arrested during this broadcast. I don’t know about that. Sensationalized headlining is all too common these days, having a tendency to move things far when it’s not. It’s possible that just another tiny piece of the puzzle is about to come to light but it won’t be enough to blow the case apart. On Monday morning, the Claremont Serial Killer will turn up for work as he has done for the last twenty years, working beside all those coworkers who know it’s just another day at the office.
Let’s see what happens. In the meantime, read and enjoy SEETHINGS. See what another serial killer does when he’s not busy doing his thing! – Michael
‘SEETHINGS’ is not an easy read – but I’m so glad I persevered – even when the content repulsed me.
Keep writing Michael Forman you have an amazing talent.

What Goes Around Comes Around.
Have you ever said that? It’s usually uttered (often muttered) just after a bad deed has been done to you. Ever wish the worst for the other person?
There’s no escaping the clutches of karma. I remember how it took hold of my interviewee in the following story.
When writing SEETHINGS I came across one of these strange karma coincidences – a most unusual story of a woman who’d recently broken-up with her common-law husband she only called that bastard.
It was so extraordinary I had to include it into my book’s narrative.
After the split, she found a house plot not far from a mountain.
One of her requests was to build her new home so that the living room window would face it. She didn’t know the name of the bump out there but it was to be a feature – a symbol of her new-found independence.
While the house was being built, she and that bastard battled in the courts over custody of their baby. To keep HIM from HER she told the judge a few lies. She said he was a violent man. He wasn't. She got sole custody of Jessica and quite a bit of money.
“Do you know the name of that mountain?” She asked, opening the curtain to expose the scene beyond the large glass window.
“Sure, it’s Mount Lindesay,”I replied.
I heard a loud gasp and then the curtain was snapped shut. The mountain’s name was the same as her former husband’s!
Think about it: Karma must've had a hand in helping her choose her house, it's location, and design of the home. What's the chances of having it face a mountain with the same name as the man she hated?

Making Murder Truly Intimate.
I wanted my story’s death to be very personal, so intimate that readers will be in the moment, looking right into the eyes of the victim and their killer going through those final few moments. I didn’t want hitmen, fancy weapons or tricks involved. My kind killing is upfront, stripped down to it’s simplest, rawest, nastiest form.
There’s a problem with today’s murders. Some writers have a belief that more carnage means a better kill. There are certainly more ways to murder today and more people to kill off in our books. We’ve got bigger guns, ships, planes submarines, viruses, aliens, disasters of all kinds and many more convoluted reasons to send our characters packing. Unfortunately, the intimacy is lost in most. It seems the more complex the disaster and the higher the body count, the more we move away from the intimacy that’s associated with murder.
Think about it. Taking a life isn’t a small thing. We read about it all the time but that shouldn’t cheapen it in anyway. There are always personal reasons attached to anyone who ends the life of another. Sometimes those reasons don’t always make sense to anyone else but those reasons are still real, personal and intimately innate to the thoughts and emotions of that individual. And they are as real as any other type of intimacy we experience in our lives. Intimacy is just about intercourse. It’s more than love. Any time we reveal our inner selves to another, we are at intimacy’s front door. Murder is intimate too. All we need is a way to experience it to know just how intimate it can be.
SEETHINGS was written to make murder truly intimate, for the characters and its readers. At times, it’s repulsive. It’s meant to be. Peering into the intimate lives of strangers can be awkward, bringing murders into it won’t make it easier. As a writer, I wanted my readers to be engaged in the narrative, so much that I expect that some will adopt the victim role as their own while others will ride shotgun with our killer. I didn’t want readers to sit on their fences and witness it from afar. I wanted them to be as intimate with the characters as the characters are to each other.
If I’ve done my job well enough, a reader will be feeling the victim’s final breaths on their own cheeks, the spittal of the killer on their forehead. That’s how close the action is. That’s what you’ll expect when opening up your copy of SEETHINGS.

St Helena’s Graveyard: Dark Fiction Research
Neo-noirotica writer Michael Forman is set to launch his third novel. His book will likely include historic monuments from the infamous St Helena Convict Settlement.
Forman, who is no stranger to the darkest sides of writing, is currently researching details of the two cemeteries located on the western side of St Helena island. St Helena’s graveyard will become the scene of an attack murder.
“I’ve visited St Helena several times and have taken many photographs there. I’m most interested in measuring the distance between the two cemeteries.
"What makes St Helena’s graveyard so different to many others I’ve looked at is its proximity to mainland Australia."
"For my new novel, I wanted my scene open so my characters could have an unimpeded visual of the sky. I’m going through some online images (as well as those I’ve taken) to check if St Helena’s graveyard has the right sky.”

Pussy Odour: Stirring the inner man.
Her vagina’s sweet odour was the essence of Nina.
Yes, pussy odour connected her male lover to her in a unique way. Without it, he would’ve loved her once and left. This was something else and it made him stay.
And Natasha loved his manly forcefulness. Too much was never enough. Every squinch she gave in her tight, young pussy told Mitchell’s cock that he was fucking the lover of his past. She yowled with similar delight.
When he roughly twisted her around, she gasped more. It was everything her mother enjoyed – everything he enjoyed in her.
#excerpt end#
The zip-ties were brought out and her quiet moans blossomed into full bodied screams. The little girl grew fast and it didn’t take her long to make demands of her own. She’d use road trips to make her first move.
“I’m horny now baby. I can’t wait. I’m going to take my panties off and suck you.”
