Chatting with Amour, author of Child Support

They say you should never judge a book by it's cover. As an author who's had a couple of jacked up covers, that old saying is so true.
Take the novel Child Support by Amour for instance. If you think this is a typical story, be prepared to have your socks knocked right off.


Angel Jacobs has a stunning face and a petite, drop-dead body. She has two jobs and an apartment in a pricey Chicago neighborhood. She has a sister with Down’s syndrome, a mother with cancer and a daughter she hasn’t seen in years. She has bipolar disorder, hallucinations and short-term memory loss. She has hot nights with one handsome man after another, but she doesn’t have a lot of second dates—because the men she sleeps with always wind up dead. Does it have anything to do with the child her baby daddy won’t let her see?

Angel is distressed by the rash of murders in her neighborhood, yet she doesn’t quite connect them to her increasingly bloody home…but eventually, the police do. Branded a serial killer, Angel goes on the run.
Amour spoke to me about her writing journey and her unique novel.

This is a different take on Child Support. Where did you find the inspiration to tell this story?



Well, actually my mentor First gave me the idea of a girl killing people because she thought that they were her child's father. I took that and put my own flavor to it. 
 
What has the reaction to this unique story been from readers? 


They love it! They enjoy the fact that it's a different type of urban read.  



What’s next on the horizon for you?



I plan on going on tour sometime in the spring and continue delivering stories that people love.


Will we see Angel again?   

Well, I'm currently working on the sequel to Child Support. So, I'm sure you all will be seeing Angel sooner than later.

Woman rapes a dead man and gets pregnant

So, stop me if you've heard this one. Woman has a last romp with a dead man and gets pregnant. No, this isn't the beginning of a short story, this is a true story . A 38 year old female mortuary worker is being held on $250,000 bond after becoming pregnant by one of her clients-a dead man. The alleged crime took place at the Mourning Glory Mortuary just outside of Lexington, Missouri. Police have charged Felicity Marmaduke with desecration of the dead and necrophilia. According to a statement made to police by Marmaduke, the alleged victim experienced a post mortem erection while being bathed. Being alone, Marmaduke straddled the dead man and proceeded have sex with him. Much to her surprise, the alleged victim came to orgasm after several minutes. A few weeks later, Marmaduke had a positive pregnancy test while receiving a routine medical exam. Upon telling her doctor the circumstances leading to the conception, the police were notified. Marmaduke was

Django Unchained or The live version of Catcher Freeman

Forget what Spike Lee has to say about Django Unchained , I want to know if Aaron McGruder recognized his work on the big screen. After reading what Quentin Tarantino said about Roots , I had plans to sit this one out. Then I got an invite to see it.  Tarantino called out Roots as inauthentic as a part of his battle with Lee, who accurately said Django was disrespectful to his ancestors. About ten minutes into this overly long spaghetti western/blaxplotation flick, I wanted to make a tee shirt that would read, SPIKE WAS RIGHT.  Tarantino should've made a western with a black hero -- the slavery aspect of the movie was just so unnecessary. Granted, this movie is a work of fiction and not based on any historical slavery story. And yes, people go to the movies to be entertained, but overly violent movies aren't entertaining to me. However, I digress.  The fact that some many people are talking about how "original" this movie is proves one thing: Y'all don

Five Questions with Judy Lynn Hubbard, author of These Arms of Mine

Image
Twitter is a great place to meet new authors. That's where I met Kimani author Judy Lynn Hubbard. I knew she was cool because she's a Dallas Cowboys fan! Then she shared an excerpt from her debut novel, These Arms of Mine . It left me wanting more and more. Thankfully, the wait is almost over! Hubbard's book is set to be released on January 24. Judy spoke with me about her first novel and writing. 1. When did you decide to write romance?      When I was 14, my sister gave me my first Harlequin Romance novel to read and since then I knew one day I wanted to write a book for Harlequin. Many years later, I finally completed my first novel and after many re-writes and submissions, I went on to write my second novel (These Arms of Mine) that was accepted by Harlequin Kimani after corresponding with them for about 10 months.   So, persistence and having faith in oneself definitely pays off! 2. What is your debut novel, These Arms of Mine about?  It’s a reunion ro
