All these reasons are great, but none of them are why I love her. I love her because she inspired Hell Kat. I wrote Hell Kat to be a tough as nails badass with a nasty habit of disemboweling people who piss her off. But she also has a soft side. She has a daughter who is the most loved child in literature, her house is looked after by a staff Hell Kat loves like family, she provides for the community of Bayou Boudreaux, and treats her employees with true respect. When I see Hell Kat ripping some dude’s heart out through his chest or kissing her daughter goodnight, I see Angelina Jolie.
