New York Times Best-selling Author Mary Monroe Discusses Her Latest Novel "DELIVER ME FROM EVIL"
Mary Monroe gets inspiration from everyday life, whether it’s a movie, dream, book or even through eavesdropping on conversations. All of her novels continue to have one thing in common—they are all inspired by actual experiences.
We can only wonder what incidents or people inspired the complex characters that inhabit DELIVER ME FROM EVIL…. One such character is the protagonist, Christine Thurman, a woman from the wrong side of the tracks who made good by marrying Jesse Ray Thurman and helping him to build a business worth millions. Now, twelve years later, J.R. has become obsessed with his video store empire, and Christine feels trapped and alone in a dead-end marriage. Tempted by her old haunts and the people she thought she left behind long ago, Christine begins a sultry affair and becomes involved with a scheme so risky that it promises to deliver everything she could possibly want, or shatter the lives of everyone close to her.
Mary Monroe is the Essence® bestselling author of God Don’t Like Ugly, which earned the author the PEN/Oakland Josephine Miles National Literary Award and a nomination for the Black Writers Alliance’s Golden Pen Award. Her other novels are God Still Don’t Like Ugly, The Upper Room, Red Light Wives, Gonna Lay Down My Burdens, which is named among the BET.com Best Books of 2002, the #1 Essence bestseller, In Sheep’s Clothing, and most recently God Don’t Play which marked her debut on the New York Times extended bestsellers list.
The third child of Alabama sharecroppers, and the first and only member of her family to finish high school, Monroe, who says “I graduated high school by the skin of my teeth,” never attended college or any writing classes. A storyteller since childhood, writing at first came somewhat easily to Monroe. Later, advice from Alice Walker, Ann Rice, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison encouraged her to continue to pursue her writing. Today, Monroe is included in the upcoming reference book, The 100 Most Popular African American Writers.
