Madi Brown is an ambitious relationship blogger (Madibrown.com) by
night, and a pencil-skirted, poplin-shirted, admin assistant by day. And
though this author finds her main character to be quite relatable, she
knows that having it all is a stretch. Duh. Success is self-defined.
This is her debut work of contemporary women's fiction.
If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone dead or alive, who would you ask? I’d ask my Grandmother Emily, who is now deceased to attend. My novel is dedicated to her love of reading, but I only know this because of what my mother shared with me. I’d love to know what types of books she did read. It very well could have been pornographic.

Do you have any tips on how writers can relax? Well,
there is this one app; I downloaded it for free on my Ipad. It’s called
Jumpstart Energize Me. It helps me to breathe. I totally decompress.
Do you have an organized process or tips for writing well? Get rid of distractions---television, music, your ringing cell phone.
Do you have a writing schedule? Not
really,Writing on a schedule feels so forced to me. I’m still trying to
pin myself down to schedule my blog posts on Madibrown.com.
Sometimes it’s so hard to keep at it – What keeps you going? Knowing
how much work I’ve put into it so far. It would be crazy for me to walk
away and leave my book project unfinished at this point. Giving up
without trying my best just isn’t a part of my genetic makeup. Madi
Brown doesn’t want to be a Loser-girl.
What do you hope people will take away from your writing? How will your words make them feel? The take away will hopefully be that they’ve been entertained, followed by a need to read more of what I've written.
What’s your favorite meal? That would be shrimp and grits. It’s life-changing.
What color represents your personality the most? Orange. It has to be just the right shade though, not too bright. It makes me feel happy---no make that euphoric.
What movie do you love to watch? Casino.
Sharon Stone’s wardrobe was so fab, and the film contained all of the
other components that I like in a story, romance, action, and intrigue.
How do you feel about social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter? Are
they a good thing? Yep. Facebook and Twitter allow me to expand my
reach of potential readers, while I’m in my apartment scantily clad.
"If you LOVE New York, if you’re a name-dropping, fashion fiend careerist; fed up with serial dating, plagued with a thirst for sex, then you’ll totally stalk me for what I've penned.” - Author, Madi Brown
Description
29-year-old Emily Greene looks the part, but she’s still working on becoming a modern-day woman. Not that she’s one to back down from a challenge, but living as an eternal work-in-progress wasn't exactly the goal that she had in mind. It’s a harsh but true realization---the idea that that time isn't on her side, and the notion that wanting to have it all, doesn't mean getting it. The verdict is in; with zero prospects for a relationship and a stalled blogging career, Emily has every reason to believe that she’s been living a life too humdrum for her own good.Making the change won’t be easy. She’ll have to do whatever it takes; start dating like a man, become more selective about which RSVP's she accepts, and work even harder at getting her dream job.The payoff’s huge; a modern twist on a storybook ending, but gains don’t often come without risks. In the here and now Emily just may be forced to choose...It’s got to be one or the other----the profession that she’s always wanted, or the love that she’s never had.
˃˃˃ Praise for Madi Brown & her debut novel, The Truth About Emily
"The added depth of character promises complexity but wraps everything in the saucy cloak of Emily's evolving personality and newfound beliefs about life, love, and the real nature of happiness. And this is where The Truth About Emily outshines many competitors, making it a recommended read for those seeking more than a standard romance novel." - D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews"This book has just about anything a girl would love to read about. If there's anything Emily Greene has is ISH and lots of it, oh the ending... This book is a total keeper, just anything about fashion to relationships to friends and family." - Y. Sanchez, Goodreads
