About Roxy Siren:
Just a small-town gal from the Garden State, who finally acted on the many suggestions to "write a book" one day. For twenty+ years, I have absolutely experienced it all when it comes to dating. During those moments…dates…disasters, the comedy may have been overlooked, but it surely had to be revealed in some fashion. Although my pen name was procured for anonymity, I am proud of who I am — and thankful that this brutally honest, yet comedic memoir, has brought lessons and laughter to readers, being highly relatable to anyone in the dating world. Telling these climactic stories in person has always been a highlight at parties, dinners, and family events — it pulled a crowd out of the woodwork sometimes — some wanted me to repeat them over and over through the years. Now they are finite stories for all to enjoy!
What inspires you to write?
I tend to love "real" life, true stories, personal experiences…whether they be joyous or disastrous, I like to be in their shoes. This is why depicting these personal dating experiences with great detail was so important to me. I wanted the reader to feel all that I felt, in the moment I felt it. Most of the moments in this book are jaw dropping, they had to be written down!
Tell us about your writing process.
"What Do Ya Mean You're Still Single" is a collection of unembellished dating experiences. Despite the twenty+ years of experiences tallied, putting this down on paper took roughly a week. And yes, I wrote it all out on college ruled, loose leaf paper…a black pen and a hot water in-hand. This is my first book, but may not be my only. In other aspects of my life I tend to outline my tasks…cooking for events, crafting, woodworking, even doing chores or setting up my day of errands…but writing this book was immediate, undisrupted, and effortless.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I published through Amazon, as they are known for publishing opportunities. I wrote and formatted the book in August of 2023, but stalled for quite some time before publishing in February of 2024. I'm truly glad I waited, so that I could give my full attention to publishing. Completing this feat was just a fun "extra" in my life, between my other jobs and responsibilities, I wanted to give it the attention it deserved.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Being that this was my first, and possibly my only book to publish, I don't have many thoughts about the future of publishing. But I do know, that making the process simpler for authors would promote writing, and "pulling the trigger" so to speak.
