Hydra M. Star

Remind me again, am I suppose to be the girl or the wolf in this little tale?

About Me


I was born on September 9th of 1978. My mother--a "good" god-fearing woman--named me after Christ, but neither this sentiment or the name stuck with me for very long. I have since high school gone by the name Hydra M. Star and most people don't know me by anything else. So, if you know my 'real' name you are special indeed.
As a child--much to my parent's dismay--I questioned everything. A trait that has stayed with me and served me very well. Hand and hand with this I'm also a very judgmental person and I don't apologizes for that. Nor am I likely to change my mind once I have formed an opinion.
I'm through no fault of my own a horror writer (unpublished) and have two dark fiction novels currently in the works. The first one I hope to have finished and ready for publication (or at least shopping around) sometime in the next year. The other I like to half jokingly call 'my life's work' as it has grown to such proportions that it will likely take me the rest of my life to get it all sorted out. Watch my blog for updates on both of these and other projects.
If that was not enough, I'm also the mother of very energetic six-year-old daughter. She is a rebel to her very core and so much like me I wonder sometimes if I wasn't cloned. Having and raising her properly has slowed the process of my writing down a great deal, but I wouldn't trade the last six years for all the finished manuscripts in the world.
In the case that the rest of my profile, blog, and friends list hasn't already clued you in, I'm a Satanist and a witch (this is not a title but rather a state of being).

My Interests

I'm stimulated by many aspects of this most unusual universe. There is much beauty in humanity and a greater deal of darkness. There is no dividing the two.

Mythology is the only single subject that has held my attention for all of my life. Myths are the tales that have guided our societies and built our dogmas. They are also why I began to write. I want to write the sorts of tales that stay with the reader long after the book is finished.

Of all my "interests" I'd say the one that is of most interest to others is my small collection of Tarot Cards, Ouija Boards, and other "occult" items. All of which I of course know perfectly well how to use.

I'd like to meet:

I expect those looking to be added to my list to be of legal age, be law abiding citizens of their respective countries, have interest(s) that line up with my own, and harbor within them some degree of people skills. Writers, publishers, editors, critics, and artists of all sorts are always welcomed to send me an add.

Music:

Mostly Country.

Sorry, no Heavy Metal for this Satanist. I know that comes as a great disappointment and shock to some of you. If you need a moment to reflect on the meaning of life and everything you hold to be good and true, please feel free to take all the time you need.

Movies:

Horror, horror, more horror, and porn.

Books:

Books are the sources of wisdom and entertainment and if they are good they are both at the same time and in equal parts.

Life to me is almost pointless unless I am reading or writing something. Nearly everything I do outside of those two things is only done so that I can be more comfortable doing them.

Heroes:

When you build others up as your heroes they almost always let you down in the end. So, it is best to live without such master if one is able.
