I’M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE…

She’s baaaaack.  Yup, that would be me.  Just spent the past month holed up doing my annual writer’s retreat (yes, that’s singular – unless me, myself and I makes for plural).  So if you haven’t heard from me in a while, that’s why.  Hey, it’s for a good cause.  That way I can get the books out quicker.

Speaking of which…I am THRILLED to announce that my newest release, THE REPLACEMENT WIFE is coming out next week.  Tuesday 3/27 is the official launch date.  And the digital edition is being offered at the special price, for one week only, of $4.95.  I’m way excited about this because it means more readers can afford to download and thus see what I’m all about.  If you’d like to read an excerpt, check it out at https://eileengoudge.com/books/the-replacement-wife/

There will also be a print edition, available online and in stores (at some point – I don’t have all the details on the brick-and-mortar retail front just yet, but will soon), if you don’t have an e-reader.

The story is about a professional matchmaker who’s told she has 6 months to live.  She’s dying and she’s desperate…desperate for her husband and children to be in good hands after she’s gone.  So she hatches a scheme to find the perfect “replacement” wife.  Thus, unwittingly, opening a Pandora’s Box.  It’s the story of two loves….love gone wrong…and the triumph of love, all in one.  Two years in the making, it’s my most personal story yet and one I had to dig deep into my psyche to bring to the printed page.

Now, if only I could transition from a month of solo living to being in charge of meals for two again.  My dear husband has been living off take-out and is ready for some home-cooked meals.  Heck, blame him if you think my next book is slow in coming…It’s all that time I spend cooking. (Just kidding!  I love that I can do both – and he would happily live off takeout forever in service of the Cause).

If you read THE REPLACEMENT WIFE and have comments, I would love to hear them!  Just fill in the comment box on my site.  Meanwhile, enjoy.

Author

I’m a writer by day, wife of a film critic by night. Be careful what you tell me or it might end up in one of my novels. I come from a large family with a few skeletons rattling around in the closet. I’m also a mom and serial wife (as my current and forever husband calls me—you may have guessed he’s not my first). Luckily my friends and family are still speaking to me, and readers continue to read what I’ve written. Maybe because I’m not afraid to go there. So, please, pull up a chair if you dare.
