Not My Party

A novella

Karen Miller’s life is rolling along comfortably with her three sons out of the nest, her long-lasting marriage, and her career. But Karen’s life is turned upside down when her husband walks out and she is laid off, forcing her to relocate from her “forever” home to start a new life in Florida. But how does one start over at middle age? Where does she fit in and how can she meet new people, much less date?

Ken Newman is a widower ready to start dating again four years after his wife’s death. With a work schedule that frequently takes him out of town, he has little opportunity to meet anyone, and he already knows every woman at church—until the new lady shows up. Could she be the one? But is she single?

Karen’s adventures to make new friends are fraught with humor, trial, and error. Too bad that attractive man at church is unavailable.
