Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write A Fragile Child’s Cry?
H L Stampley: My son, whom I adopted and whom also was a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome, inspired me to write this book.
JP: What sets A Fragile Child’s Cry apart from other books in the same genre?
HLS: I live the words on the pages. I had two biological siblings in my home and both were abused at the age of two months. Also, my wife and I fought the foster care system and the juvenile court system for nine years in order to save a life.
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to A Fragile Child’s Cry getting out to the public?
HLS: An organization and individuals believing in me and my passion about this wonderful and compelling book that I have written.
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish A Fragile Child’s Cry?
HLS: My writing process is simple: my memory and a tape recorder. A Fragile Child’s Cry took about a year to complete. The book first came out in 2008. It really didn’t emerge like I wanted it to, so I teamed up with an organization called Street Positive that believed in me and my cause about child abuse.
JP: What’s next for H L Stampley?
HLS: To continue to bring awareness to the forefront of America about the issues of child abuse and a broken foster care system.
