Welcome to my site! If you've come here because you enjoy reading funny, moving and insightful novels that just may - believe it or not - have a more mature female protagonist then you've come to the right place.


Janey Mac is one of those women. Her husband of several decades has just walked out on her. She hopes it's because of the stress caused by his failing business, but her friend Felix is sure there's a woman in the background. Janey is about to lose her marriage, her upmarket home and her best friend because Felix is going to the USA to meet up with his producer lover Herv and to follow his desire to become an actor.


Janey is obliged to take on a 'job' looking after her two very spoilt grandchildren for her daughter Allegra. What's worse, both her adult children seem to side with Kevin. And Felix has problems too. His love life is soon shattered and his career is over before it has begun.


But these two have one great strength - their friendship with each other. Follow this odd couple as they help each other through their tribulations in a epistolary correspondence that is by times fiery, funny but never ever dull.


Janey Mac is an Irish expression indicating surprise or shock. Surprise yourself or a loved one by buying it on Amazon. https://mybook.to/JaneyMac
