SALTAIR
The Midlife Celebrity Love Life of an Ex-Housewife
Book 1
A witty, true-to-life story of a jaded insurance assistant who is pursued across Australia during her vacation by a former actor, Gerard Frey. She wonders if he is for real because while he’s dreamy for a midlife crush, she’s never heard of him. But he’s heard of her.
​
She’s an author who wrote a book about Christian divorce that Gerry devoured, and then he labeled her ‘50 Shades of Baptist’.
Now he has her attention. They begin a long-distance love affair from L.A. to Dallas, discovering that late in life, things can get steamy very quickly in the midlife celebrity love life of an ex-housewife. Temptation isn't a sin. But giving in is.

ORANGE GROVE
The Reformation of a Midlife Wife
Book 2
My right arm felt like it had been torn off. I looked up and saw the man with a piece of metal pipe that was covered in blood. He was yelling at me, wearing only pants with no shoes. He wore a bloody blue medical mask over his mouth, his words seemed like nonsense to me. I found the officer’s gun and it was my intention to defend our lives. To kill this lunatic.
​
My late-in-midlife husband, Gerry and I started a charity for senior citizens. It’s true what they say, no good deed goes unpunished. I could have lived a life of ease, enjoying my horses and dogs. Gone shopping. Traveled. But I just had to get involved.
Now, a deranged meth head had changed my world and made me doubt why I would ever help anyone again. Gerry was there to remind me that we don’t live for ourselves, and I had been given the opportunity to practice what I’ve preached.
