Get
Your Hand Out of My Purse, I'm Not Giving You My Money
Crystal’s
Message: This book was inspired by the stories of many women who I have met
over the years. It is about their challenges, failures, and successes. Their
moving stories motivated me to write this book to help other women understand
how every choice they make can either help or destroy their retirement. Learn
from their inspiring and heartbreaking stories. I know they will want any woman
who reads this book to be aware of the “wolves” that can, in the blink of an
eye, wipe away hopes and dreams of her retirement. Discover the secrets to
personal empowerment and what you need to know to find your own yellow brick
road to financial inner peace. For more

1. What really inspired you to write your book, to force
you from taking an idea or experience and conveying it into a book?
The
main motivation to write this book was all of the heartbreaking stories I’ve
heard from clients over the years. There are too many sad endings that could’ve
been prevented. Throughout my childhood and now, in my career, I’ve seen
firsthand how little women are involved in their own investments.
Here, in the United States, 60% of women haven’t taken
control of their finances, and because of that so many are not fully secure
when it comes to their money.
I want women to know that they can do it; it’s not that
hard to be involved and, most importantly, to learn how to rely on themselves
when it comes to making decisions about their financial future.
2. What is it about and whom do you believe is your
targeted reader?
The book is a conversation about money – it’s like a chat with your girlfriend about something serious. I approached the book the same way I approach my family, my friends and my clients when it comes to , with honesty and through stories. In essence, this is a collection of stories about women who have not taken their financial planning seriously and what it will cost them – but told as if we were at our favorite café enjoying a glass of wine or cappuccino. The book explains why women have a hard time with the subject of “money.” It talks about upbringing, culture and gender roles. The audience is any woman who wants to be confident about money.

3. What do you hope will be the everlasting thoughts for
readers who finish your book? What should remain with them long after putting
it down?
My
hope is that this book inspires women to take care of their money. I want women
to understand this is one of the most important things that they can do for
themselves and their families.
My hope is that women walk away feeling more confident
and more in control of the finances. I want this message to spread. I want my
readers to teach their daughters to be money confident.
4. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for
fellow writers?
If
you’re sitting down to write a book, don’t think how to begin and how to
end. You don’t need to be an editor or try to sound fancy. Just
passionately tell your story like you would tell a friend. The best advice I
can give is just get started today – don’t wait for tomorrow.
5. What trends in the book world do you see and where do
you think the book publishing industry is heading?
I see more people caring about
self-improvement and so I think the self-help market will continue to grow. I
also see a trend toward audio and more podcast style. And, because of the
Internet, many writers now have a greater opportunity to be published at a low
cost.
With
increased access to tech, I think video books will become more popular. Adding
a visual element to storytelling will make learning easier for those who are
more visual.
6. What great challenges did you have in writing your book?
The editing is usually the most difficult
process in writing. There is usually a harmony in the balance that needs
to happen and sometimes we have spent so long looking at the same content it
can get confusing and redundant.
7. If people can only buy one book this month, why should
it be yours?
In my opinion it will change her world for
the better. The reason why women should purchase this book is because women are
living even longer and money plays an important part of their health and
well-being. This is a book a woman can read in a weekend – but will have a
lasting impact on her life, and maybe even her daughter’s life.
