Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes unimaginable endings are the start of great beginnings
...
Elizabeth Wakefield is not who she seems to be. She's a Romantic who has become closeted, because of being surrounded by men who are not. Imagine encountering spousal infidelity with sexual betrayal on Valentine's Day, and of later learning of being replaced and divorced for a young beauty pageant winner. Or being suppressed by a glass ceiling that reflects the weaponized efforts of a prejudiced, sexist and misogynistic Branch Manager's actions that does everything possible to thwart her striving for success. It's no wonder at 60, Liz feels disenchanted, regretting the usage of her years and of never finding a Romantic man to live Happily Ever After with. What she has evolved into and the things she has been forced to accept over time, one day are no longer acceptable... a change and a surprise to the offending parties, but not to Liz. Sometimes unimaginable endings are the prelude to a legendary love story.
CarpeDiem Prelude to a Love Story, documents how Liz's life changes completely in four months. Her new reality, of starting over, and being who she is, becomes dependent upon freeing herself from the protective stone facade she has hidden within. Should she make the same decisions of taking the path of socially correct safe choices or courageously choose to require the deep Romantic Love which she craves? Will she accept the Romantic man, twenty years her junior, who can present her with choices and opportunities her wildest dreams never imagined being possible?
Corinne Julienne writes stories she enjoys reading, because she's a dyed-in-the-wool Romantic, and loves the company of her characters since they are too. Her novels are written in the first person, for sophisticated mature audiences, who know Romance doesn't disappear with age or is the exclusive domain of the young!
Vicariously experience what Liz does, by reading a portion of the story in the Look inside and then order the book. CarpeDiem Prelude to a Love Story is a great love story that deserves to be told and you're at the beginning!
