Details of Summer Giveaway

One of the best aspects of having your book published is all of the amazing new experiences you have for the first time. The opportunity to meet and partner with other authors in order to promote your book is one of the highlights!

I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity and the honor of partnering with Ellen Dolgen of Shmirshky fame. “E” and I have reviewed each other’s books, have shared links and have enjoyed each other’s work – I know I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hers!

This summer “E” and I have teamed up with some other of her other contacts for a great summer giveaway! She has worked hard to make a name for herself, and although we are in no way competing for readers (our books compliment each other beautifully – hers is how to deal and mine is how to escape!) I feel extremely fortunate that she has been willing to share her followers with me.

So if you’re interested in breezing through menopause as a hip and cool lady with a great attitude, a great look and a great sense of humor – enjoying life – check out our Summer Giveaway! Who says menopause can’t be fun?

My husband pulled an old Parade Magazine out of a drawer. It was from October 10, 2004 and was dedicated to “Healthy Mind, Healthy Bodies.” The first article listed on the cover was “Who’s Afraid of Menopause? How new research and some dynamic women are shattering assumptions.”

Katie Brind’Amour is a freelance health and wellness writer. She has graciously agreed to share some of her knowledge with us in this guest blog:

I’ve been taking bio-identical hormones for several years now – since my hysterectomy in 2004. Once things got going I was feeling great – not a symptom in sight. Then my doctor’s practice had a shake-out and my doctor left the market. Wonderful man that he was, he recommended someone who could help me continue my hormone journey.

If you like reading murder mysteries and you like to laugh, Donna Leigh, the menopausal ad agency owner and amateur sleuth in Is It Still Murder, Even If She Was a Bitch? is worth meeting:

In truth every woman undergoing menopause presents “a different face of menopause.” In my personal experience the field is considerably narrower.

As each year draws to a close there are certain traditions that are observed. We enter the holiday season with an eye toward sharing, festivities, thankfulness – and another eye toward moving “out with the old and in with the new.”

This murder mystery introduces menopausal amateur sleuth Donna Leigh, whose sardonic approach to solving the murder of an obnoxious former colleague depicts Leigh as an active and engaged executive who is far from the old and feeble relic formerly associated with the onset of menopause.

Forget Ho Ho Ho, if you’re a menopausal woman your holiday chant is more like Hot Hot Hot.

About a year and a half ago my new hormone “doctor” made some tweaks to my bio-identical hormone compound. I didn’t like the results.
