Friendship fiction isn't just stories of first-graders exchanging notes in classrooms (though those tales are lovely). It can be about the emotional bonds that are created during wartime and in other tense situations. That's what you'll find here.

Who I'd like to meet:

Any people with profiles that are PG-13 or under . . . but I offer an alternative to other folks. I try to keep this profile reasonably family-friendly by Friending only PG-13 and under profiles, but if you have a profile with subject matter or links that are intended for a more mature audience, feel free to send a Friends request to my main MySpace profile, Love in Dark Settings.

Between October and April of each year, I cannot take Friend requests because I do not visit MySpace during that time.

Please note that I don't allow advertisements in my Comments. A quick update on your latest news is fine ("My new book is out - how is your summer going?"), but please don't post anything along the lines of, "My new book is out, and here is the link to it . . ."

If you need to reach me, please e-mail me rather than using MySpace's message system.

Hi Dusk,

Do you think fighting is beautiful?

Stick fighting is beautiful. I’d never really thought about it before all of this – and even if I had, I probably wouldn’t have thought about it in terms of beauty. But it is… beautiful.

Deadly too, of course – I guess that’s sort of the point….

Hi Dusk.

Thanks for making contact – it’s good to know you’re out there. Yes, I’m glad Jos is writing crossover novels too, because it means I get to really grow up – I mean REALLY grow up – over the course of the series.

Listen, I know times aren’t easy, (no one’s ever ready for an apocalypse), but, please, just try to stay warm, try to stay dry, and DON’T EVER LOSE HOPE. Whatever little is left of the human race, and whatever we can build from it, we’re going to need writers like you to help lead us – writers who aren’t afraid of the truth.

At any rate, it’s not over yet. I promise you.

Wishing you light,
Hayley.

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (December 8, 65 BC - November 27, 8 BC)

We All Must Die

Alas, dear friend, the fleeting years
In everlasting circles run,
In vain you spend your vows and prayers,
They roll, and ever will roll on.

Should hecatombs each rising morn
On cruel Pluto's altar dye,
Should costly loads of incense burn,
Their fumes ascending to the sky:

You could not gain a moment's breath
Or move the haughty king below
Nor would inexorable death
Defer an hour the fatal blow.

In vain we shun the din of war,
And terrors of the stormy main,
In vain with anxious breasts we fear
Unwholesome Sirius' sultry reign;

We all must view the Stygian flood
That silent cuts the dreary plains,
And Cruel Danaus' bloody brood
Condemned to everduring pains.

Your shady groves, your pleasing wife,
And fruitful fields, my dearest friend,
You'll leave together with your life:
Alone the cypress

After your death, the lavish heir
Will quickly drive away his woe;
The wine you kept with so much care
Along the marble floor shall flow.

- Horace
