A big welcome to @hoefinity for joining this corner of madness.

A very big welcome to new follower - Tallulah Darling @rosegoldhips. Umm... no relation to Delores but methinks they are kindred spirits. Please check out her works. I'm reading her work "Swan Dive" and loving it!

The first 2 parts of the Delores Darling saga was posted last week. Expect new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. I eagerly await your comments.

Next week, Saturday - I think, I am going to debut a rather unique reading experience. The first of many stories about a character named "Delores Darling." Although I write the stories, it feels more like I'm a stenographer jotting down her perspective of life events. Sound weird? Yeah, sounds weird to me too, but I'm used to it.  For those who are curious now, here is the logline for the first story. If it unsettles you, do not read anything further featuring this character. Enjoy (or not).
          
          An Excuse for Living - Nymphomaniac hitwoman Delores Darling totes a dead baby and craves normalcy in this action-packed dark comedy set in 1990's Atlanta.
          
          (I put a picture of her in the background of my profile.)

Back on Wattpad after a very long hiatus. I plan on returning old stories previously published here and adding many more new ones. Crime fiction mostly, but also sci-fi as well. Bear with me. I am gradually getting my house in order.

@jlstroudjr And if that isn't what you had in mind then tell me what part of Death note were you looking to find in another manga? (ex: the psychological stuff or the suspense, or action.)

@jlstroudjr I can't think of anything similar off the top of my head but You could try Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi for several laughs... Or you could do Blade of the Immortal. Both are mangas and anime but the manga of both of them are SO much better.

@0excaliber Can you recommend anything comparable to Deathnote? 

Thank you all for supporting my work! My story "One Dirty Trick" is no longer on Wattpad, but very soon will be exclusive on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents. Other stories on Wattpad will follow that route soon. If you have not already, check out what I have posted. As always, I covet your feedback. THANK YOU! JLS

@jlstroudjr No problem. I can recomend more depending on what your tastes in manga and stories are.
