Marie Joseph-Charles

My name is Marie Joseph-Charles and I am a writer of love and death.
Why death? It is the undeniable fascination with murder and the macabre. What makes someone take the life of another? It is easy to say I could never kill anyone. But I have never been a mother in a position to protect my child. I have never been kidnapped and held in captivity with only one way to escape. I am not a jilted lover. In writing, I can transform myself into any one of people and find out what motivates them and feel what it’s like to take a life.
Why love? In truth, at my core, I am a hopeful romantic. Finding someone you want to wake up to in the morning and can’t wait to tell about your day at night is a beautiful thing. Finding that person who makes you feel whole is something so many of us long for. It is our nature to want this other half for ourselves.
I invite you all to take part as we explore those fundamental fascinations that are rooted in the human core: Love and Death.
