Name:
Location: Trinidad & Tobago

I write literary novels under my real name, Roslyn Carrington, and wayyy too hot Arabesque romance novels under the pen name Simona Taylor. I live in Trinidad with my partner, Rawle, and our toddlers, Riley and Megan. Ah, the pleasures and pressures of being parents to those two! There’s also my full-time Public Relations job, the aquarium full of albino sharks, the dog, the garden, the obsession with cooking (the more fattening the dish, the better), the addiction to the comic art by the likes of Keith Knight and Aaron McGruder, and the chocolate compulsion. I fill whatever time I have left dreaming about romance and writing.

On the other hand...

On the other hand, I hate to say this, but if you want a convincing pro-sterilization argument, have a look at today's blog on my site, called Worse than Fiction

Sterilising Negroes

An Indian Opposition senator has come up with a solution to our crime problem. All rather simple, really. He proudly stood up in the Senate on tuesday and proposed that the Government offer cash incentives to women "in specific communities that statistically have the highest crime rates in the country" to have abortions or to be sterilised. I don't need to point out that those "communities" are almost without exception poor black neighbourhoods.

Well, let me tell ya, the whole country has gone berserk. And rightly so. I'm not even going to give you a history lesson and bring up the specter of Hitler. I ain't even gonna point out how heinous the whole theory of eugenics it, and how vulgar and offensive it is to even think out loud that the mass sterilisation of black people would be a good idea.

I've only got one question for the Senator, and this is it: How much ya offering, sir? No, really, let's talk dollars and cents here. How much you planning on paying my people to get themselves done? What's a fetus go for these days? A pair of ovaries.? Are sperm ducts worth more or less?

Unfortunately for the crime rate, the Senator was fired by his party in less than two days. Pity. I'd have loved to have heard more. Incidentally, (and amusingly) this Senator had only been there for 3 months, and his first order of business was to bring in a priest to bless his chair because it was cursed. Why was it cursed? Because the last 2 men who sat in it died.

It's not easy living in the third world.
