Saints and sinners? More often that note we come across these two words as we try to determine where exactly we are standing. Are we saints? Or are we Sinners? How do we what we are if the world, amd subsequently us, is not black and white but, fifty shades of grey?
I am working on what was originally a short story which is slowly turning into a novel about Saints and Sinners. The story picks up from where Haunted left as it develops the characters, and the conflicts, hinted at in Haunted, as well as show people's true colours, the raw betrayal, pain, misguided intentions as well as the drama that comes with the above.
My aim in writing the novel was to show the thin line between being a saint and being a sinner and how people often cross that line in the pursuit of justice, or whatever it is they are pursing.
Growing up, I liked and often rooted for villains more than the heroes, with the exception of Batman. From my own perspective, most heroes are stuff of fantasy and in now way reflect or try to relate to a human unlike a villain. with this in mind, what I wanted to do, especially in Saints and Sinners, was to show the human side of my heroes.
