Featured Interview With Nellie Cake
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in the Appalachia mountains in Kentucky. Now I live in a concrete world. I’ve had a lot of dogs as companions, but will never let my hear get involved in any pet or human. I wrote one autobiography, novel type, but have four different titles for the same book because I like all my titles. I also wrote six smaller books which are take offs or detailed stories that are in my main book. Before the age of nine cousins, uncles, brothers, and strangers were raping my sisters and me. A man beat and raped me at gun point. The next day he beat, raped and shot my two little girl friends. I left home and school in fourth grade. When I did try to go home, one of my uncles raped me. There were so many rapes happening that I’m not sure if he’s the father of my first daughter. The family hates me because he raped me. My mom, dad and family stole the baby and raised her as theirs. The Iron Horseman motorcycle gang stole my next son I gave birth to. He had double pneumonia and a broken collar bone from me getting beat for three nights before the night of labor and living on the streets in the snow. The gang thought I hurt my baby. My stomach exploded from being an alcoholic putting me in a coma for nine months.
While in the coma my mother-in-law stole my next two children. They were seven and eleven when they were stolen. My fifth child arm robbed a bank in Lake County, Florida with a gang and her boyfriend, Jesse James. (Go figure.)
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’m not fascinated with books, I’m fascinated with writing. I don’t think my writing habits are different than any other authors these days considering the computer age and it’s constant advancing. I keep word pad minimized and write when something important needs to be entered. While living on the streets, highways and prisons, I kept a pencil or pen and paper. All my life I’ve been carrying something to write with and on. It started off wanting to tell about my two little girl friends who were shot.
Then I wanted to tell on all the family and strangers who beat and raped my sisters and me and tell on everyone who stole my children.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
The only book I’ve ever read is the Bible.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I’m working on the last book I’ll ever write, but then most authors say, “This is the last one” with each last one. I haven’t decided, but the title so far is, “Here’s Your Fucking Card.” Through continuously writing, putting my story in cyber land, my first daughter found me, but we still haven’t met in person. I found my second daughter, but she has an attitude because she was told all her life that I was dead. She sold the house and property I owned when I ran from my abusive husband which was their father. I found out online that my two sons have died of cocaine overdose and I’ve never met them. I read online that my little sister overdosed. Dad was a Pentecost Oneness Evangelist, a Charlatan. He shot his self in the head in the New Mexico court house.
