The Love Programmeby Zanna Mackenzie


Reading through the blurb, reminds me of how much I loved my time in Scotland, so this book is definitely a "must read" for me ... and I'm sure as soon as you've read through this post, it'll be on your TBR list as well. :-) 1 – What gave you the idea for “The Love Programme”
Many years ago there was a comedy drama series on TV in the UK called Monarch of the Glen. It was about a reluctant laird who had to take on the running of a Scottish...

 Love By Numbersby Sara Donovan 
Reading Sara's bio, I felt like picking up the phone and tell her my teacher failed me in that English! And I still turned out to be okay. 

Anyway, I love the blurb of "Love By Numbers" and the sound of the story, so my obvious question is: 1 - How did you come up with the idea for "Love by Numbers"?

1 - The main character in "Hollywood Dreams" becomes a method actor to get a "the part of a lifetime". How did you come up with the idea and how much research went into getting the "method acting" right?
