From my studies in psychology, the sociopaths and psychopaths generally have some sort of compulsive disorder as well. Thanks for your comment. As always, very enlightening.Sharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-37844007501158098772009-04-18T05:56:00.000-07:002009-04-18T05:56:00.000-07:00Gotta love those megalomaniacs.

You capture little details so well, that make it seem oh so real, like tapping the cigarette three times before lighting it. But my favorite part was this,<br /><br />"Michael understood the moves of the night predators. He was one of them."<br /><br />Great little piece of foreshadowing there, seems to me. Great WAG this week!<br />~jonJ. M.

I allow the reader to see his sinister side long before the heroine of the story takes off her rose-colored glasses. But by that time, her life is in jeopardy. I'm glad you were drawn in!Sharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-56675169616147021472009-04-17T06:48:00.000-07:002009-04-17T06:48:00.000-07:00Hi Sharon.
