I believe Kathryn Finney's first book, How to Be a Budget Fashionista should be on every woman's bookshelf, so I'm delighted she's joined the ranks of our interviewees!
Please describe your latest book in 15 words or fewer:
How to Be a Budget Fashionista: The ULTIMATE Guide to Looking Fabulous for Less
Where do you like to write your books (in bed, a coffee shop, an office)?
For some strange reason I can't sleep on airplanes, so I do most of my good writing on them. Also, can't forget my mobile office (aka Starbucks). I also like to write while watching Oprah.
Your favourite chick-lit book?
Guilty Pleasure: The Shopaholic series. When I want to expand my mind: Anything by Amy Tan and Jhumpari Lahri.
Your favourite female heroine (if different from above!), and why?
I don't have a favorite, but I tend to be drawn to characters that challenge our concept of humanity.
What tips would you give to any of our readers who want to become writers?
Don't talk about it, BE about it. The difference between writers and aspiring writers is that the former writes. You can't sell a book, if you haven't written anything down.
What are you reading at the moment?
The Barack Obama book (the first one) and Young Broke and Fabulous by Suze Orman
What are you working on now? (If you can give us a hint!)
My second book which, drum roll please, will be about fashion. I have a fiction book somewhere inside of me that I will start to work on at some point.
What question have you never been asked in an interview, but think you should have been? (Tell us the question and answer it too, if you like!)
Question: What did your mom think about the book?
Answer: She loved it.
Thanks, Kathryn!
