I've already tweeted it, and posted it to my Facebook page. Love the line 'They break molds, they fill molds perfectly.'

I think the women's fiction genre has a lot to offer readers with a deeper meaning, a deeper connection to the characters, such as books like yours. Best of luck to you as well!Darian Wilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607167446349058134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794231887463255020.post-1116620644214659182011-11-02T12:40:41.997-04:002011-11-02T12:40:41.997-04:00I totally agree, Darian.

However, I got sick and tired of reading about women who's only dilemma was how to pay for their designer shoes and which man they were going to date. I wanted to read about real, women; women who had lived real lives. Hence, took it upon myself to write such a book. Somebody had to do it. "Husbands May Come and Go but Friends are Forever," about a group of women in their 50s who first met in high school and have survived multiples marriages, devastating divorces, terrible teenagers, and even maddening menopause together. The book has hit a chord and has been optioned for the big screen. So, your definition of women's fiction is bang on - it's written about us and for us. <br /><br />Best of luck with your book!<br /><br />Judith Marshall<br />www.judithmarshall.netJudith Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537369649530922358noreply@blogger.com
