A Dark Most Fair

You should know, I did it. Before you trouble yourself to read any further, you won't find an innocent woman in these pages. I am every bit as evil as they say I am. A murderer. A liar. A kinslayer. The gods, they say, save their worst punishments for those like me. Those who covet what isn't theirs. Those who slay their own blood. Those who lie about it after.I'm a woman who murdered for a man. There isn't a hell black enough for one such as me. I'm every inch a sinner. And I will get what I deserve. Soon.

L.M. Riviere grew up on 80's flicks and twisted fairy tales... and it shows. Her stories flirt with the inherent darkness of the human condition, blending fable, mythology, and pseudo-historical narrative- in an effort to seduce, mystify, and unsettle readers. She'd be overjoyed to learn anyone lost sleep over one of her yarns.She is most influenced by the works of Peter Beresford Ellis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Frank Herbert, Ann Rice, and Juliet Marillier. Her favorite book of all time, is Herbert's 'Dune'.Riviere is also a Photographer, Editor, and Marketing Professional. When she isn't writing, she's battling the elements for the perfect shot, hiking any and everywhere, or playing in myriad bodies of water.
