Chronicles of a Madd Housewife ~ author copies have arrived! There’s nothing more exciting than getting a great big box full of copies of your new book, and this never gets old, no matter how many books you’ve published.
Several of these copies are destined to be signed and sent off to perspective reviewers, family members, and the occasional friend who needs some relationship advice. Sometimes hearing someone’s very personal story and experiencing a toxic relationship through someone else’s eyes can be a revelation.
As I said, this book is dedicated to everyone who’s been in a toxic relationship and loudly declared: “I should write a book!”
I just received the author’s proof copy of my newest book, the book that is a whole new genre for me, and I’m absolutely thrilled. Here’s a sneak peek inside the book, and remember that you can read a limited section at Amazon with their “read sample”feature.
Here’s the table of contents. The first part of this book is a true, very personal, experience that sets the tone for this Madd Housewife and gives you an idea of the issues she’s dealing with. (Names and locations have been changed to protect the privacy of those whose life is laid bare here.)
The second part of the book takes a look at the issues that were being experienced in the first part of the book and how to identify them, because sometimes in the midst of the hubbub you’re not sure what’s happening. And, of course, we examine possible solutions to overcome these nefarious issues.
The third part of the book is everything you should know in the realm of relationships so that you can plot a successful course for your love life and hopefully avoid some of the unfortunate pitfalls that are just laying in wait for you.

Toxic relationships. Everyone has either had one (or more), or they know someone who has. In Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It’s Not You, It’s Me, celebrated author, Amythyst Raine, takes a departure from her previous writings to give the reader perspective into what it’s like to be caught in a toxic situation. Could this be you? ….or someone you know? How long do you stay? When is it time to leave? If you’re not sure of the answers to these questions, I encourage you to read this book. You’ll find the answers here.

Over-lapper, definition: Someone who puts out feelers, dates, or begins a new relationship before ending an existing relationship. The status, or extent, of an over-lapper’s existing relationship is often kept a secret from the new love interest.
