The Ex Files: Confessions of Sasha Mayfair
(A romantic comedy novel)
Three husbands. One near-nervous breakdown. And a glamorous comeback you won’t forget.
Sasha Mayfair has survived it all – bad marriages, and a cousin so toxic she could wilt a houseplant. At fifty, she wakes up in silk sheets, sipping Bucks Fizz, and finally living a life that fits. But getting here? That took losing everything… including herself.
Told with wit, warmth and a wicked eye for life’s absurdities, The Ex Files is a sparkling tale of reinvention, resilience, and refusing to settle. From budget weddings and beige sofas to bold lipstick and second chances, Sasha’s journey is many women’s fantasy – and a cautionary tale...
If you’ve ever made the wrong choice, married the wrong man (maybe more than once), or worn the wrong shade of beige – this is your invitation to laugh loudly, start over, and sparkle unapologetically.
Midlife Magic & Money
(A Fun Paranormal Novella)
When Ava reaches forty in 2000, she realises she’s been trapped under her wealthy husband’s thumb. Is it time for a divorce?
To help her decide, she visits a therapist who seems stuck in the 1970s. It turns out that she is, and when Ava wishes to revisit her, she must use a time-travelling car - a humble Morris Minor.
To complicate matters, an inheritance from her late grandmother takes a chilling turn when Ava stumbles upon a dead body, a grim obstacle barring the rose-adorned entrance to her new cottage.
With the aid of a magical talking cat and the Morris Minor, she embarks on a time-travel journey. Her mission is to stop the murder and liberate herself and others from the clutches of an oppressive force. Failure doesn’t bear thinking about.
If you enjoy humorous women’s fiction with a hefty dose of magic, a dash of mystery, and a light kiss of romance, you’ll love Janet Butler Male’s Midlife Magic and Murder.
