***ON TEMPORARY HIATUS*** 

"The only way to survive in this world- in a man's world- you have to find the richest man in town, or that man's brother or even his father. Take him from his wife, from his children- then marry that man. Once he's given you money, a nice home, and plenty of clothes and fancy jewelry- take more until he's left with nothing and then move on to the next fool and repeat. It's an easy task, really; men can't seem to control themselves in the presence of a beautiful woman. That is the lesson I leave you with, my daughter. If we ever cross paths again, I wish by the grace of all that is holy, you will understand. Goodbye, child."

This story follows Emma Taylor's life, the daughter of a once-wealthy man, and her journey from starting as an innocent kid to becoming America's most notorious seductress and murderess.All Rights Reserved
