In Minnesota, solving mysteries.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I'm in Perth, Australia, in the 1950s. I'm just about to get married actually, so wish me luck! :D It's been a rocky 15 years so far.

You must be reading Andrew Miller's Pure? I loved that book, though I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Yup that's the one :) Finished it already. Quite good although I'm still baffled by the last scene of the book. I really didn't get it...
