The good, the bad, and the ugly about dating after 40. Beverly and Jessica have managed to make a bad situation funny as hell to listen to. What to do and what not to do so you don't waste anymore time on the wolves. This book was so much fun to write. Jessica and I had very similar circumstances with our love lives. As we told each other stories and secrets we could not help but laugh at what the hell we were thinking getting hooked up with these men.

My mother passed unexpectedly in 2016. She was brilliant and hysterically funny but also suffered a lot. In A Woman Called Mother, I share the stories and scenes I collected from our time together, and also the stories and scenes I’ve been collecting from my present perspective since becoming a mother myself. I’m taking a break from posting because I’m working on finishing my memoir about my relationship with my mother. I will update once I have a release date for the book. Thank you!
