Synopsis

When thirty-eight-year-old housewife Katharine Beaumont learns that her husband Frank has had an affair, she snaps. Leaving behind her two ungrateful teenagers and her cheating husband, Katharine boards a Greyhound bus from Oklahoma City headed for New York City, where she plans to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a bestselling novelist. Once off the bus and wandering through the streets of Manhattan, Katharine feels completely lost and vulnerable in her strange, new world-much like her slightly younger and sexier alter ego, Kitty Everhart, who works for British Intelligence in her novel and is suddenly shipwrecked on a deserted island with seven other castaways. Katharine quickly adapts to her new environment and is determined to survive. She meets a quirky cast of characters-from a murder-for-hire bartender to a mob boss and a drug dealer. She and her new friend, Bree, become involved in an adventure made for one of Katharine's novels. The Everyday Housewife presents a darkly humorous look at what happens when a career housewife learns to navigate in a new and unfamiliar world.

About the Author

After I graduated from Oklahoma University- a long, long time ago it seems- I went straight to work for my dad in his construction business, making twelve bucks an hour. It seemed like a lot of money at the time and he kept giving me raises, so I’ve been in the family business ever since- while writing on the side. During my college years, I enjoyed writing short stories. Plus, I wrote a screenplay that is still sitting on a shelf somewhere in Hollywood, waiting to be green-lit. I still have my fingers crossed. In 2001, I began writing my first novel, Killer Cain, and finally got it published in 2007- after so many rewrites. My second novel, The Everyday Housewife, went a lot smoother and was an absolute joy to write. I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of it! You can find out all about my latest book on my website, www.theeverydayhousewife.com. I hope to write at least one more novel before I die. I am currently on the second page.
