Gray Divorce, Silver Linings: A Woman’s Guide to Divorce After 50 by Haleh Moddasser

Gray Divorces are on the rise for adults aged 50 and older.

Data shows that 66% of the time these divorces are being initiated by women.

Sadly, women of gray divorce are at risk of irreparable financial harm, often accepting settlements that are unequal and unfair. Often times, women are trusting that her partner will do what is right for her and simply accepts what is being offered.

The long-term impact of gray divorce on a woman’s financial security can be devastating.

And don’t assume that reaching a certain level of affluence or fame makes you immune to divorce; that’s not the case.

If you find yourself facing a late-life divorce, alone and afraid, worried about your financial well-being, lacking a clear sense of what your marital estate is worth, unsure about how to participate in impending negotiations, and struggling to create a new financial secure life, this book is for you.

Here is some of what you’ll discover in Gray Divorce, Silver Linings:

• Select the divorce process that best suits your needs (Chapter 2)
• Build a divorce team that works exclusively for you (Chapter 3)
• Determine the size of your marital estate (Chapter 4)
• Negotiate an appropriate settlement (Chapter 5)
• Plan your financial future (Chapter 6)
• Trust your gut when investing (Chapter 7)
• Understand the fundamentals of investing (Chapter 8)
• Move beyond your divorce (Chapter 9)
• And more

You may not be able to see past your current situation, but if you follow the teachings in this book, your future can be bright.

Women of gray divorce are forging ahead, embracing life, finding new purpose, and building new lives with the wisdom borne of their experiences, both good and bad. Armed with passion and determination, these independent women are redefining the stereotypes of prior generations while, often unknowingly, completely redefining themselves.

Lightness In My Dark: A Dark Slow Burn Strangers-To-Lovers Romance by Denise Baer

A Three-Year Marriage Contract. Financial Freedom. All she has to do is sign on the dotted line.

Finn Trevino has one goal, and that’s becoming CEO of his family’s business. Wren Jagger has one goal, and that’s finding a job. When Finn and Wren enter a fake marital contract, they have no idea how difficult their circumstances will test their resilience. Little do they know, fate brought them together to mend their broken pasts. Finn and Wren unravel in this dark slow burn romance.

4.2 ratings on Amazon. “The writing is elliptical and evocative, similar to song lyrics, reminding us the author is a poet as well as a novelist.”

Author’s Note: Lightness In My Dark is a standalone, slow burn, steamy, dark contemporary romance sprinkled with humor. My characters are flawed and reckless. They’re tangled and raunchy… and sometimes downright adorable. The story delves into unpleasant but real issues. It contains adult content and triggers. Reader discretion is advised.

Author Bio:

I am a Chicago native pulled from the shackles of a 9 to 5 job, and wound up in a small town in Germany to follow my writing dreams. As Gwendolyn Brooks said, “Writing is a delicious agony.”

A multi-genre author, wife, and mother of a furry one, I jumped over the big pond into another culture. My writing ideas come from living life. “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” Henry David Thoreau. Germany has opened my eyes to cooking, baking, gardening, bike riding, and road trips, but not necessarily in that order.

Aside from reading, writing, and watching my favorite shows, much of my time is spent with my husband and our dog, Shakespeare. He doesn’t recite sonnets, but he has a beautiful howl when listening to opera.

About The Timber Stone by Dave Abare

FREE KINDLE EBOOK PROMOTION
October 14-18, 2022

Joshua Traxon, a former L.A.-based rock star, and B-list reality show fixture left L.A. for small-town Vermont hoping to write his memoir. Escaping a past filled with lies, reckless drunken behavior, salacious backstage tales, and death will push him to his limits, especially as he recounts it on paper for the world to read.

Josh and his frenetic pug Pickle have a routine: Josh drinks away his pain while struggling to write, and Pickle reminds him that he’s still alive, with his infectious personality and boundless love. When Josh meets Laurel, his new neighbor, along with her precocious young boy, he’ll struggle with that routine as he falls in love, attempting to evolve and reconcile with his boorish former persona. A tragic death that’s haunted him for years will fight to pull him back to the edge of despair, but not before Laurel’s own life-changing secret knocks Josh off his feet-and deeper into a bottle. Only a journey home, where he’ll unearth a forgotten childhood relic, may save him from himself. If it’s not too late.

Author Bio:
Dave Abare was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and has spent most of his life in and around the Connecticut area. He became enamored with writing at a very young age, writing his first book, "Troll Island" at eleven years old. This work was never published, thankfully, but it was the beginning of a passion that has only intensified over his adult years.

His love of music led him to begin a part-time gig as a music writer, interviewing bands for his own "Fanzine" in the mid-eighties, including such Metal icons as Slayer, Metallica, and Anthrax, as well as bands such as Van Halen, Blues Traveler, Motorhead and Big Head Todd and the Monsters for other publications. In the last several years, Dave has spent his time working on short stories, poems, and his debut novel, "The Swing Over the Ocean," which was, in his words, “a bit of a mess” in terms of editing, etc., but an invaluable self-publishing learning experience. Most recently, he's completed work on his second novel, “The Timber Stone,” which is available for pre-order now.

In addition to writing and music, Dave enjoys reading, travel, cars, and Pugs (and all critters), as well as frequenting local New England wineries and breweries, with Tree House Brewing Co in Charlton, MA being his favorite. You can follow him @AbareDavey on Twitter or look for his Facebook Author Page.
