I Shall Survive (the Menopause)

It’s still a taboo subject for many women. We certainly don’t like to shout out about it. Why would we want to announce to the world that we are experiencing hot flushes, forgetfulness and mood swings, even if it is perfectly obvious to others that we are? Yes, that dreaded M word—menopause—remains a subject that makes most women shudder at the mere thought. However, it really needn’t be anything to fear or be upset about. Menopause the Musical, is a huge hit in the States and more and more women are beginning not only to accept menopause but laugh about it.

   Escape from reality comes in patent-leather Prada kneeboots

Dawn Ellis needs to escape from her painfully dull existence. Her unemployed husband spends all day complaining about life, moping around, or fixing lawnmowers on her kitchen table. The local writing class proves to be an adequate distraction with its eccentric collection of wannabe authors and, of course, the enigmatic Jason, who soon shows a romantic interest in her.

Dawn pours her inner frustrations into her first novel about the extraordinary exploits of Cinnamon Knight, an avenging angel -- a woman who doesn't believe in following the rules. Cinnamon is ruthless and wanton, inflicting suffering on any man who warrants it. Little does Dawn realise that soon the line between reality and fiction will blur. Her own life will be transformed, and those close to her will pay the price.  Find out what happens in Just Add Spice.

Author Interview & Giveaway: Carol E. Wyer

Today I’m excited to be taking part in the blog tour for Carol E. Wyer's Surfing in Stilettos which has been arranged by Shaz at Fiction Addiction Book Tours.  So without further ado I'll pass you over to Carol...

Can you tell us a little bit about Surfing in Stilettos?
Surfing in Stiletto begins where Mini Skirts and laughter Lines ended. Amanda Wilson a desperate housewife who believes there should be more to life than cooking, cleaning and putting up with a grumpy old husband sets off on a gap year with the aforementioned grumpy, Phil. They intend having a romantic gap year travelling around Europe in a camper van. It isn’t long before they both realise that this is all a huge mistake. Fate intervenes, the camper van breaks down in France and Phil has to return to the UK to deal with a drama back home.

Amanda is now free to enjoy her time away and her life suddenly becomes much more interesting when she meets and makes friends with Bibi Chevalier, a woman whose own love life is problematical.

Life improves hugely, then an ex-lover becomes determined to track down his beloved Amanda, and a case of mistaken identity on the internet leads Amanda into sudden danger.

The novel is full of twists, surprises, and mirth. There are though moments of surprising poignancy so be prepared to have tissues by your side.
