Not surprisingly, the life of a WOW or GOW is unlike any other. Being the wife of a widower is not easy, and since there was nothing on the bookstore shelves to help me when I was about to marry a widower, I decided to write a "survivor's guide" for present and future WOWs, based on my own real life experiences. My book, "PAST: Perfect! PRESENT: Tense!  Insights From One Woman's Journey As The Wife of a Widower" is a ForeWord Magazine "Book Of The Year 2003" finalist, and is available through all online book retailers and publisher iUniverse.com. Then I entered midlife, had a baby, and decided to again write from experience - this time with humor. My illustrated humor book about midlife and parenting - entitled "PARENTALLY INSANE:  Insights From The Edge...of Midlife!" - was released in 2004 by Publish America and is available for purchase via the publishers' website, Amazon.com, and BarnesAndNoble.com (see links below).  This book was chosen as a finalist in the humour category for ForeWord Magazine's "Book Of The Year 2004" awards.  And that's why I write - to inspire, support, connect, and...laugh! ***************************************************************************************
