For the past decades, the Danish writer known by her pen name M. L. Stark wanted to write a book about life, from being born in the strict late Catholic fifties in Germany to follow the childhood miseries in the Orphanage until her mother immigrated to Denmark with her child. The author grew up during the free hippie time in a fast-growing developing time age and to become an adult person in the twenty-first modern century, where the author went through three difficult stages in life. ‘Childhood Horror!’ and ‘Matrimonial success, heaven, difficulties and divorce. M. L. Stark gave birth to four children and during the twenty-one-year period of marriage that followed the death of her first-born child, gets grandchildren and divorce from her husband, then she lastly was dating a mean suppressive person. Phase three; ‘Hell!’   During her lifespan, she fell prey when she didn’t could see through the love life as she was dating a mean suppressive person, which was her worst phase three; ‘Hell!’ The cruel life with a sociopath, one who swindled himself through life and then the new man in her life began to sink into his mania of deceives, abuse and lies. The mid-aged part of the author’s life gave eventually the courage to the final inspiration to the narrative of a Fiction & Nonfiction Combined about Mary and Drake in BURNING DESIRE and BURNING DESIRE FADES - The Psychopath and The Girl in Black Prada Shoes, which depicts the likenesses of real-life experiences.  The inspiration to write the books came after enduring deeper scrutiny of my mind, heart and soul and the personal experience in life. I wanted to give awareness about a suppressed theme. A narrative which needed to be told about psychological abuse and get more awareness about adoration, love scammers and sociopaths. The same thing is also for physical abuse as it follows the psychological trauma in life. I wanted people to understand how it is to be a prey of abuse and how others eventually can help the sufferer by listening and trust the victim when they tell their story. M. L. Stark had ultimately found the strength to find the truth about life. Particularly, my last love life. The struggles to survive the fake love from the man and the factual hell I lived in, inspired me to write about similarities of the emotional abuse I went through. I couldn’t stop writing, even my life was a terrible mess. I had to understand why I did what I did to my life and why you as the prey can’t get out of the psychopath’s mesh.  Despite the life with people who had exhausted me, I never stopped loving them. Why had I allowed those I loved unconditionally, to treat me badly? – Indeed, there were many questions during the process of scribbling everything down on a piece of white paper. I used to believe that humans could be caring and loving yet my life never became the same again, after the sociopath had broken me! – Luckily, he did not achieve to break me totally and I began to trust in people again. Life had also given me a valued gift - to be able to forgive, so was it about forgiveness? However, writing about life as it really can be, became an obsession in 2014 for M. L. Stark as I began my first research on sociopathic behaviour. A thorough planning process began, which took many years before it was ready to let the magic pen get it down on paper when I started on my writing project in 2016 about how it was to live in a destructive and abusive life with a sociopath. All names of the characters, the establishments and places got changed. Therefore, the story is fictitious but told from ideas of real events. M. L. Stark learned a lot from all the evil the narcissist did to me. Most of all, he gave me the final inspiration to grab the magic pen, and I let it write most of what happened during my lifespan down on paper. The writing was difficult as I had to bring every personal experience up to surface again, but it helped to get it down to a manuscript. It was worth every drop of ink on thousands of pieces of documents I used during the entire process. Incredible how clever the pen is and tells me, he is a narcissistic, a calculating sociopath. That is tough medicine to swallow, but that’s what he truly is! Living with a narcissist and a manipulative person was more difficult to write about than I thought, as I wanted it to be authentic. It should make rational sense about life as what you can expect from a relationship living with a devious and calculating person. I wanted it to be authentic and wished to rationally sense life about the struggles and the deeper personal emotions of what can happen in a toxic relationship, as I was backtracking the many emotions which was a difficult decision to get a decent narrative off. Finally, I got the courage in Spring 2020 to publish my first book for adult readers: BURNING DESIRE – Part One, following in Autumn 2020, BURNING DESIRE FADES – Part two of the “Burning Desire trilogy: The Psychopath and the Girl in Black Prada Shoes.” Book three is in writing and is expected to be published in 2021. My life also gave options to travel around the world, from Asia, Japan, Australia, most of Europe, North America, Caribbean, The United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan by The Caspian Sea and The Balkans. Today M. L. Stark lives a content life in Great Britain, knowing I achieved the impossible; to write books about being a sufferer who survived the cruelty of childhood abuse, rape and also mental abuse by the man I loved. I can merely say: “The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman’s love without the intention of loving her.” I am who I am. Like me, love me. Take me, leave me. Know that I am a true friend to end and ask for nothing in return except for two things, don’t hurt me or use me. —Anonymous
