She called him her \u201csafety.\u201d And the author appeared to love her, too, with Britt alleging that her likeness can be traced to over 10 of his novels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">According to Britt, she was \u201cin and out of foster care\u201d when she met McCarthy at a motel pool in Tuscon, Arizona, and their relationship began in 1977 when she ran away with him to Mexico. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Their adventure became the basis of McCarthy\u2019s 1985 novel <i>Blood Meridian<\/i>, in which a fictional teenager runs away from home across the US-Mexico border. And according to Britt, it was his spin on their relationship that she found most difficult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In real life, Britt claimed the FBI was on their trail, and McCarthy feared he would be charged with statutory rape for taking an underage Britt across state lines. However, Vanity Fair said it could find no evidence of such investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Britt said she didn\u2019t have sex with the author until she was 17 and he was 43, but their relationship soured after she found out he was still married and had a son around her age.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The pair reportedly kept in touch for 47 years, up until McCarthy\u2019s death at age 89 last year. According to Britt, she decided to come forward now in anticipation of her letters to the author being revealed when the second half of McCarthy\u2019s archive becomes public at Texas State University next fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been so afraid to tell my story,\u201d said Britt. \u201cIt feels like I\u2019m being disloyal to Cormac \u2026 But he would always warn me that at some point his archives would open up and people would find out about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/famed-author-cormac-mccarthys-secret-muse-reveals-they-began-dating-when-she-was-16\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author Cormac McCarthy\u2019s \u201csecret muse\u201d claims she would have \u201cdied young\u201d had she not met the then 42-year-old author at the age of 16. \u201cI loved him,\u201d said Augusta Britt, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=128545\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=128545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
