Man Boobs and the Ageing Romantic Hero

Man boobs, or Moobs are the bane of every aging Romance hero’s life. I mean it’s not easy being a romantic hero at the best of times, all that stress and effort, all those mis-understandings, mis-interpretations and mis-demeanours. Then after all that angst, you realise you’ve found the one, settled down, had a couple of kids, eaten a lot of pasta, life goes on. Exercise slips a bit, well who has time, with multi-million dollar companies to run, a relationship to maintain, kids to run around after.

I'm a FABULOUS writer!

Two years ago I was not a happy girl. Five days a week I was a stay-at-home mum, dealing with my very cranky toddler, pregnant and suffering through what turned out to be nineteen weeks of morning-(HAH!)-sickness. The other two days I was slaving away at work. I was knackered, falling apart at the seams, couldn’t go on.

So hubby says I need to slow down, get off my feet, let my body have a chance to put some energy into the baby. He had a point. I’d always wanted to see if I could write a book, and he suggested that now might be a good time to start.
