Description
I know you are wondering why the heck I named a book: Cupid is a Bastard.
I could quote mythology and tell you he is the illegitimate child of Venus. I could confess to being a bitter nutter who carries on conversations with apparitions. The result of too many ghostings? No one deserves being dropped without closure.
The truth is that my greatest loves and lovers have died. So have favorite friends, pets, and family. Love can be arduous but thankfully it hits exhilarating high-notes. The only way a fiercely creative like me can process this, is in my journal. In it, I watched the pen in my hand move with surreal speed, releasing a kraken of consciousness filling pages.
Could this book and Cupid possibly help me get future dates? This depends on the suitor’s sense of humor and his vitality. Go on, crack it open!
Advance Praise
"This book had me at its title. It is one part tribute to an abiding mother daughter relationship, one part dialogue with the cherubic being known for penetrating hearts and one part ode to the juiciness of love. It dips down deeply into mythology with humor and poignance. Story telling is one of Ambika Devi's super powers and I found myself immersed in a full sensory experience in her vividly rendered poetry and prose. Bonus: the book even has yummy recipes gracing its pages. She truly lives deliciously and orgasmically.

This enchanting book invites you to escape into the world of the heart riding the waves of love and loss, helping you to navigate the ups and downs of being a human. Ambika’s vivid writing activates each of your senses drawing you directly into her universe. Cathartic and beautiful complexities of relationships inspire, uplift, and are relatable, leaving a loving seal in your heart.

The conversation Ambika has with Cupid is an invitation to love and explores her own personal journey through the complexities of love. Her words will inspire spontaneous laughter and at times evoke tears as she invites the reader to reflect upon their own experiences with love, loss, and relationships. This is something we desperately need now more than ever. Loving is perhaps the most vulnerable but life-sustaining thing we can do for ourselves and our world.
