Why Did you write a book on The Golden Girls?

M.A. Cassata I knew several books were already published on The Golden Girls, including a few trivia-based books. I saw other extensive information books on the show. I didn't want to do a reference guide where I would have to explain the references or one of those books that breaks down each character on the show. That had already been done. It's not what I had in mind. Besides being passionate about the show and the characters (not so much the lives of the actors that played them), I wanted to do a short, fun, informative tribute book that featured all the necessary elements: a quiz, facts, straight quotes from the characters, and a list of collectible memorabilia. My background is in tribute books and magazine specials. I have an agent, but I am also allowed to sell directly, and I knew BearManor published entertainment books and understood my passion for writing them. I have two other entertainment-based books with the company, and that's good enough for me.
