I don't know who will see this, but I'm gonna try it. "Love Me" is my current WIP and it is my worst yet. It's about a female sadist who kidnaps a man and makes his life a living hell. I hope people enjoy it when it's out. I'm also hoping, key word right there, that it'll be done by Valentine's Day next year.
