About this item

I've survived a disastrous divorce (and some equally disastrous first dates). I've survived my friends' menopause madness and my daughter's nerve-racking nuptials. I'm dating Tim (a Truly Extraordinary Kisser), my career is steady and fulfilling, the kids are launched, my ex has exited, and my best friends are as close to normal as they've ever been (which, honestly, is not very close at all). Yep, as I approach the day I turn the Big Five-O, my life is really humming along--but is it humming along to "Happy Birthday" or the theme song from Jaws? Da dum da dum: I get a new boss who subscribes to the Idi Amin School of Micromanagement. Da dum da dum: Tim's amorous intentions might be turning honorable--or turning in another woman's direction.



About the Author

Heather Estay

Heather Estay grew up in Denver, Colorado as Heather Stevens (that's her maiden name, not one given to her by the witness protection program) . She moved to Northern California in 1969 to attend Stanford University and has been on the west coast ever since (based on her unwillingness to shovel snow and her aversion to fuzzy hats with ear flaps) .She graduated from Stanford with a degree in psychology but, realizing that her personal philosophy of "just get over it and get on with it!" would not endear her to many clients, she pursued alternate avenues of employment. Among other things, Heather has bought houses and remodeled them, worked in a French restaurant, taught martial arts, and had a short stint operating a shrink wrap machine (she claims that she has since recovered from the fumes) . Her seventeen years in commercial real estate finally drove her to the brink, motivating her to find a career where she could spend all day muttering to herself in her pajamas: a career as a writer. (As with most of the things Heather has attempted in her life, she has absolutely no background, qualifications, or training to do this.) Heather wrote and sold her first humorous novel - It's Never Too Late To Get a Life - in 2003 within five months because she was too naive to know that this is not the way things are supposed to work. These days, Heather spends most of her time in her jammies, chained to her laptop, writing goofy novels and mysteries, and ghostwriting serious books for people who are smarter than she is. Every once in a while, she gets out of her jammies for speaking engagements and TV interviews. She usually showers for such activities.Heather is unintentionally single and resides in Sacramento, California with her energetic Basenji-mix Mr. Lucky who adores her, especially around dinner time.
