Writing - Good for the Soul

The first book I wrote and published on Amazon is The Unfinished Letter. This is a book, a story, I wrote after my 16 year relationship ended. While the story is fiction it is based on fact and has many personal experiences included.

Writing is a good experience and  a way to "talk" about life's situations, some good, some not so good.  This story is a novella and I wrote it in a month's time.  And, it was as if the damn had broken and I continued writing a novella each month for two years. Yes, I was letting my writing come out and it was glorious and continues to be so.

The Unfinished Letter is about two women, Elizabeth and Jackie, who have both lost their long time partners.  One partner was lost to a car accident and the other partner was lost do to a break up of a long time relationship. These women are middle aged and both have accepted their situations of being alone in life without a love partner. They are not starry eyed young women looking for another quick replacement.

After Jackie and her partner separated, Jackie  has been left with very little financial resources and so she has moved into a subsidized apartment complex. She has little money and no car but she has two best friends she is very close with. Jackie meets up with another resident of the apartment complex who turns out to be Elizabeth's mother.

Elizabeth on the other hand, is financially secure.  She and her partner had both had high paying positions that afforded them to live well.  Then when Elizabeth's partner is killed in a car accident, Elizabeth receives substantial life insurance money from her partner's death.

Jackie has had her heart broken and has decided never to let that happen again, she doesn't need a woman in her life and risk being crushed by another woman.  But, Elizabeth's mother befriends Jackie and decides to play matchmaker.

Elizabeth had known for years that her long time partner was being unfaithful and in fact there had been another woman in the car with her when the fatal car accident occurred.

This book is all about finding LOVE and ROMANCE and has lots of HUMOR. I hope you will give it a try. Maybe you could even do a Review for me. So far it has been my 2nd most purchased book.    #amzn.to/10TbK5Z  Thanks for reading this Blog. Please follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
