The Next Big Thing: Authors Tagging Authors!



I am excited to take part in The Next Big Thing: Authors Tagging Authors! I was tagged by the lovely Isabella with Chick Lit Goddess, and I am thrilled to keep this going. So what I do is answer these questions below, tag a new set of 5 authors, then they answer, tag authors, etc. I’m going to be answering questions about my second novel, The Green Ticket, which will be on sale December 5!
What is the working title of your book?
The title is THE GREEN TICKET. I actually had the title picked out before the majority of the story was written. The scene in which my characters discuss “the green ticket” was the first scene written for the book.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I’ve found myself fascinated lately with the whole money versus morals issue. It was after a professional acquaintance I knew married a man 50 years her senior that I became really interested in exploring the topic further. While the book doesn’t focus on a Hugh Hefner-type relationship, that is where the spark of it came from.
 What genre does your book fall under?
I classify it as women’s fiction/chick lit. The characters are too old for YA, but I like to think there is some humor involved along the way.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Ooh, that’s tough! For Alex, I think Emma Stone, when she has her gorgeous red hair. For Lila, Blake Lively, as that is who I pictured for her character, and I have a mega girl crush on her. And for Henry, maybe like a Zach Efron?
And for the authors I have tagged:
