According to two biographies, Lee had been writing short vignettes about life in Monroeville, AL when her buddy Capote introduced her to his literary contacts in NYC. On her own, she started weaving the stories together—with little satisfaction. Finally, she moved in with her compassionate editors, and under their…

Ted Nugent, the guy who sings about fucking teenaged girls and becomes a legal guardian to a teenage girl so he could fuck her

In the sequel, Scout becomes a superhero named "Mockingbird" and the United States Government attempts to neutralize the threat, led by her conflicted father, Atticus.
