""For sin is real. Sin is corruptible. Sin is fleeting. Sin is permanent. Sin is everything." Regina is tormented by remorse as she lusts after Ethan, her best friend's husband. In the midst of the Christmas celebrations, she suddenly finds herself in a situation where her longing can find an outlet. One thing is certain, and that is that guilt is bondage, but despair not; He comes with pleasure to set free the sinners who need Him most... ‘Midwinter Sin’ tells of allowing oneself to fall and of making sin a human right."Rickard Svärd is a pseudonym for an aspiring Swedish writer who wants to protect the playfulness and seriousness of sexuality. In his short stories, he mixes humour and fantasy, with thought and reality. The hot, forbidden. The everyday, the mysterious. Show respect, get respect, then the rest will be resolved, are the watchwords when Rickard paints his pictures.
