Illumining Pen

 Welcome again to today’s post: a wholesome package of self-evaluation concerning obsession. Obsession is a compulsive or irrational preoccupation. You may not know you’re obsessed until its toxicity starts showing its effect on you. Here’s my story to discovery of my obsession. I loved crime novels. There was a particular author that I was in love with and I had read almost all of his books: James Hadley Chase. My dad (of blessed memory) was a legal practitioner and he had quite a number of Chase’ books, so I had easy access to them.
