submitted the book I had a major debate within myself. I wondered if I had the talent. If I was just kidding myself or was the book powerful enough to be the kind of self-help book that would help a lot of women. But I'm glad that I did not give up, because it did become a book and it is helping women. And even though I am not currently working directly in writing I am a writer. I think I'm a strong writer because I'm able to write books people can relate to that counsels the pain in people and replaces it with peace and hope.

Multifarious: Was there anything that you learned from this experience or anything that surprised you along the way?

Tamara: I learned you can never give up. Hope and persistence is key. And I'm not saying that because it sounds good. I'm saying it because I have really experienced it. I want women and men to know that you can not give up on your dreams. I've had people that have told me that I would never be a writer that I was just wasting my time and dreaming. Some people told me writers do not make anything and I they just laughed at my dream. If I were to look at my current situation today I would become depressed. I have been out of college for 6 years and I'm not doing what I love. But when I turn it around and say that I have been out of college for 6 years but I still have one more day that could be my break through or change my life that is what gives me hope and keeps me going. If my writing can help one person or two people then it was not in vain. I want to continue to write self-help books that help people. And that is more than money or fame.

Multifarious: Are there any new projects you are working on?

Tamara: I am working on my second book. This book is going to be for everyone. I don't want to give to much away but it has to do with jobs.

Multifarious: And finally, If you could sum up the book in 1 to 2 sentences for our readers, what would you say?

Tamara: Even though woman might be ready to give up on love all they need is just one good man to chance their perception about men. After they read my book I believe they will find that they have just one more day to find love, peace and hope.
