Q:what inspired you to write this book?
A: My Husband. I'm the romantic in the relationship and ever since we met in college, I've literally been loving him, on a budget. I love coming up with fun, inexpensive ways to show him my love, because it taps into my love language and the way I show my affection. I always thought it would be fun to share tips with friends and loved ones.
Q:What does your writing process look like?
A:I'm a doer, moreso than a planner. I plan very quickly in my mind, and then I just go for it, so my process is somewhat fast. Once I have an idea and have that initial thought started, it's full steam ahead. I just write until it's complete.
Q:how did you come up with the idea for the book?
A:I actually got the idea in college. A friend of mine was interested in a boy and wanted him to have her number, but she didn't want to seem too forward and just give it to him, so I came up seven simple math questions. If answered correctly, each answer gave him a digit of her phone number. On the bottom of the page we simply wrote "Call Me!" He loved the way she went about approaching him. That moment birthed the idea for the book.
Q:what authors have inspired you to write?
A:I'm not so much inspired by other authors, as I am by life itself, and love. The entire process of loving someone inspires me.
Q:Have you always like to write?
A:Absolutely
Q:What writing advice do you have for other aspiring authors?
A:Never be afraid to be yourself on paper. Don't censor yourself, just write.
Q:What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing process?
A:Proofreading. It's very necessary and meticulous.
Q:how did you come up with the title of the book?
A:I was chatting away with some friends, just being silly, like I typically am and while in a rant, I said it and it just resonated with me. I knew it would be the title to a book one day.
Q:So you think Dave Ramsey would like this book?
A:I hope so. He could add it to his Financial Peace University catalog and provide me with some Financial peace.
Q:Who's more romantic? men or women?
A:It's not based on gender, but individuals
Q:your favorite idea or suggestion from the book?
A:The Scavenger Hunt
Q:should men always pay for the date while dating and even after marriage?
A:It should depend on the couple and their financial abilities.
Q:where can people purchase the book?
