Managing Ed

by Allyson R. Abbott

At Last A Break Through! Abby and Ed have fallen head over heels in love and are acting like children, even though they are a very mature couple. Unfortunately, being older also comes with a few glitches which inhibit their sex life. Abby is determined to overcome the problem and introduces Ed to a Ten Step Programme to encourage maximum efficiency. Having met through a blind date initiated by Abby’s daughter, Abby and Ed cannot believe their luck in finding each other and falling in love. Not everything runs smoothly though as Ed makes clear his intentions to go long term travelling in nine months after a planned early retirement and Abby cannot afford to go with him. She spends weeks and months trying to figure out a way to stay with Ed and still be able to pay the bills on her house, car and daughters education and not lose her job. Having Ed’s ex-girlfriend, Dani, in the background, with her perfect figure, hair and nails spawning all over him, is not helping her mood, especially when Ed refuses to move in with Abby and continues to rent a room in Dani’s house. Abby does not doubt Ed’s love and commitment, but struggles to understand his strong ties to his past. Just when she think’s everything is impossible; their sex life, living together and a chance of staying together, Abby has a breakthrough in all the different areas and their future looks a lot happier.

About the author

I 'm very lucky to have the indulgence of time and space to enable me to write. I took a sabbatical from work to accompany my partner on his bucket list travels and adventures, and never went back. I really thought I would struggle with all the free time, so decided to write to keep myself occupied. Now writing has consumed my time and I am never sure where we will be or when, hence my novels could be classed 'international' as they may have been written across a few countries. We are still travelling, although we do pop back to the UK for a few months every now and again.

I love the fact that no matter what our age we can use new technology to connect to the rest of the world and enhance our lives. Back in the UK I have my friends and family and with emails, phones, skype or face-time, we are never out of touch for long. Even my mother at eighty-six uses face-time to catch up with me. I have the world at my fingertips and only twenty-four hours away from anywhere.

Being a 'mature aging gracefully' woman, I feel akin to the problems of aging and relationships. I spent many years on my own before finding my truly remarkable and very patient partner who I happily gave up my whole world for. My stories are about mature relationships with mature people. People who have character and humour, who have a history; people just like us.

I like to call it Hen Lit, not Chick Lit, but it is not just about falling in love. They are about real relationships.

I hope you enjoy my stories. Please check my web page or social media pages if you would like to contact me. I love emails and try to answer every one as soon as possible.
