Diamond Gothic: Summer Blog Lovin'

I've always had a strong dislike towards the word 'hiatus'. Such cruelty and torture for the impatient, much like myself.

And of course, the Diamond Gothic authoresses have decided to take a mini-summer hiatus - abandoning readers at the edges of their seats with a million and one questions left unanswered.

Well, for those of us who have been addicted it's horrible news - HOWEVER, for those of you who haven't been keeping up, NOW is the time to catch up with all the mystery, dark secrets and romance of the south! Trust me, you'll thank yourself!

Expect some Diamond Gothic lovin' to help cope with the hiatus, stay tuned!

"One fateful night, a southern general had brought his mistress down to share a drink with his men. She had waltzed in wearing her powder-blue hoop skirt and perfectly matched corset. Her skin appeared to glow as her curls carefully kissed the side of her neck down to her bosom. Her beady eyes were a piercing shade of blue, with a small speck of red in each eye. She wore jewelry much like that of a gypsy.

The gentlemen enjoyed the company of this misses, for they had been at war for quite some time. She sat quietly listening to them swap war horror stories, sharing a bottle of brandy. Each man proudly boasted about the many lifeless bodies for which he was responsible– until suddenly, the breathing of the men began to slow. Their eyes widened, and as each one grasped for air, it was clear... Poison. This magnetic –yet mysterious– gypsy, who had never taken a sip, took a liquid spell to all in her path. As the general’s hand reached up for one last cry for mercy, she knelt down by his side and removed her Diamond Gothic pendant, laying it upon his chest."
