The paperback version of Linda’s Midlife Crisis has just been released, so you can now enjoy it in print. It’s a lighthearted, entertaining read with a sprinkling of suspense, drama, humour, and more than a touch of romance. I’ve been overwhelmed by the lovely reviews it has received, and look forward to sharing some more of those soon.
If you’re looking for a women’s fiction novel that will keep you turning the pages, then this might be for you.
Here is the book description
Linda’s Midlife Crisis
feel-good women’s fiction
How does a fifty-year-old woman start a new life?
Meet Linda Lockwood: fifty, fat, frumpy and bullied by her horrible husband Ron and the vile students and principal at the school where she teaches English. But her life is about to undergo a total transformation.
Linda suffers a breakdown after a traumatic classroom incident, and that brings out the worst in Ron and devious principal, Wayne Forsythe. Then she is rocked to discover her husband has a shocking secret.
With her own determination and the help of friends and family, she starts to turn her life around. She begins to succeed, but there are still some more surprises in store Linda.
A feel-good and inspirational romance for older women who love second chances and chick lit.

I read more and more ebooks, but other than the space factor, I prefer a paperback or hardcover read every time. I hope there will always be a place for physical copies.
