Interview With Kathryn Lively
I'm happy to see that my latest interview is up. Kathryn Lively asks me about my novel, what inspires me to write, upcoming projects and my favorite charity. See an excerpt below:
How did you become inspired to write this work?
I knew a lot of Jans in high school and college. I had friends who would blow me off to go hang out with their boyfriends and then would be inconsolable when the jerks they picked treated them terribly. All women have a friend like Jan. I never completely understood what motivated that extreme behavior. I wanted to shake my friends and yell, "STOP. Just stop dating for five minutes and figure your life out." Since that probably would not have gone over well I decided instead to write a novel from the perspective of one of "those girls," a story in which the girl realizes what she is doing and takes steps to figure out what truly makes her happy instead of thinking some new guy is the answer.
