AUTHOR'S BIO:

Award winning author, Mary Campisi’s stories will pull you apart and put you back together but never in quite the same way.  Mary should have known she’d become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all the books she read.  It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing.

When she’s not writing or following the lives of five ‘almost’ adult to young adult children, she’s digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue lab mix, Cooper, or on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own ‘hero’ husband on his Electra Glide Classic.

REVIEWS/QUOTES: 

Quote:

Not Your Everyday Housewife is not your everyday kind of mid-life crises story. No! When Cyn Cintar, Derry Rohan and Shea Donovan take a month’s sabbatical away from their married lives to take a breath and figure out just who they have become, they didn’t realize their lives would never ever be the same again. Just about the time you think you have this story figured out… it takes an exciting left turn. You won’t be able to put it down.

Review:

What happens when you reach a place in your life when you discover you no longer want to be yourself?  You aren’t happy with your appearance, or body shape. Your marriage is in trouble, and your kids have reached that age where they are being absolutely impossible. What do you do? Forty-four year old Cynthia Cintar, and her very best friends, Derry Rohan, and Shea Donovan decide to take a soul-searching trip to assess their lives.

Not Your Everyday Housewife written by Mary Campisi is not your usual mid-life crises story. Not when your husband hires a private detective to make sure you aren’t just slipping around behind his back. Sometimes it just seems no matter how much you love someone, they find ingenious ways to gouge out your heart. This tale is full of scandalous secrets, domestic infidelity, heartache, self-appraisal… blackmail, and threats of divorce.

Can these three best friends salvage their marriages… and after the truth is finally divulged, do they really want to? Will they ever be able to trust their partner again? Can any of them find the happy ending they so desperately deserve?

This book is a real winner that will keep you turning pages fast enough to burn your fingers. It’s exciting. It’s just a little different than your usual how to survive, story. Buy this one now. You’ll want to keep this one to read again. -- Review Rate: 5, JoEllen Conger, Conger Book Reviews

Snippet: Desperate Housewives meets Thelma and Louise Plus One in NOT YOUR EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE. The question is, will the characters end in a pouf of quirky chaos like the ladies of Wisteria Lane or end up driving off an emotional cliff like the famous movie heroines?

For a glimpse into how every woman over 40 has felt at some point, I urge you to read NOT YOUR EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE. I chuckled all the way through and nodded in agreement more times than I wanted to. The characters are real, the writing is engaging and the story is engrossing from beginning to end. I want to start a new movement. None of us should ever again be an "everyday housewife"! -- Kris Jones, Reviewer - Romance Junkies
