Samantha March Stranded On A Dessert Island

Please welcome Samantha March, author of Up to I Do, as she tackles our Desert Island Interview!

About Samantha:
Samantha March fell in love with books at a young age. Thanks to her mother and grandmother, both avid readers, Samantha followed in their footsteps. Field trips to the library highlighted her week, and she went on to do volunteer work at her local library while in middle school. Her early works closely resembled characters from The Baby-Sitters Club and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. In high school, Samantha excelled in writing courses and even the mundane tasks of writing history papers.

A slew of real work wake-up calls caused Samantha to shelve her dream of becoming an author. She took what she considered the practical route and enrolled in a business college in Des Moines, Iowa, where she graduated with honors in 2009. But her thoughts of writing never dissolved. In October of 2009, Samantha started the book blog ChickLitPlus.com. From her small blog, Samantha meant fellow readers and writers who pushed her to continue her goal of becoming published.

Samantha March founded Marching Ink and has published three novels since – Destined to Fail, The Green Ticket and A Questionable Friendship. Samantha currently lives in Iowa with her new husband and newer puppy. Besides reading, writing, and ChickLitPlus responsibilities, Samantha enjoys sports- especially the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Cubs- and will never refuse ice cream.

Samantha March Stranded on a Desert Island

If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?

EEEEK! Cruel game. I am literally stumped.

What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with?

Probably something like a body wash!

What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use?

Oh boy...maybe something to catch water in – some sort of pot?

Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy?

I probably would enjoy it – I’m quite the introvert!

If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?

I’ll say my husband! Not only because I love him of course, but he is super practical and handy and feel like he could be a big asset :)

What modern technology would you miss the most?

My laptop and the Internet!

What food or beverage would you miss the most?

Ice cream!

How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?

Probably not many...maybe like a week. Two at the tops!

What is the first thing you would do when rescued?

Find my dog!

What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?

I’M BAAAAACK! And yes, I will be writing a book about what just happened to me....  ;)

Up to I Do

Emerson Sinclair, twenty-seven year old hotel heiress, has said yes. With just over a year to plan her extravagant, over the top nuptials to Logan Worthington, it’s all hands on deck with the wedding plans. A Sinclair marrying into the Worthington family is the talk of their small New Hampshire town, and ideas include filming the wedding for a TV segment. But as the items get checked off the list, plans start to go ... not as planned. From not getting a designer dress to a selfish bridesmaid and unaccountable best man, Emerson is afraid her wedding will be more a joke than anything. 
When both her mother and sister seemingly begin to lose interest in her wedding plans in favor of their own personal lives, Emerson fears her big day will turn into the forgotten wedding. With the pressure to pull off a beautiful and elegant event that everyone expects from their respectable families, Emerson starts to forget the reason why she is saying I Do in the first place.
But her spirited Grams is there to make sure neither happens. With her help and guidance, Emerson not only has her wedding plans back on track, but she remembers the reason why they are going through the stress of wedding planning – because at the end of it all she gets to marry her true love, and marriage is defined by more than a wedding.
