Life After Fifty / BookTrail Publishing (ePub)

Life After Fifty is the story of a woman, Charlie, who is approaching 50 and facing the trials of the menopause. In complete denial and at war with her own body, the menopause wreaked havoc on her marriage and sex life.

Charlie faced several trials and tribulations in her younger years, from losing a good friend at the age of eight to cancer to being a rape victim at the age of sixteen. Finally, her life changed when she met Sebastian, a handsome, muscular, seductive husband.

The perfect marriage with two children but still secrets is kept locked for decades about Charlie's past and fantasies of another man.

Combining a devastating pandemic and lockdown with the menopause, Charlie's symptoms become harder to manage; fatigue, impatience, hot sweats, weight gain, and the physiological symptoms of worry and anxiousness all add fuel to their marriage in the beginning.

As time moves on in lockdown Charlie and Sebastian's isolation impact their romantic relationships in a myriad of ways. They become closer and bonded, and embark on passionate sexual encounters. Their sexual behaviour is raunchier than ever, experimenting in new positions and sex toys to indulging into adventurous intimate sexual encounters outside. Both feel the excitement and passion of their steamy sexual desires.

But after lockdown where does this leave Charlie and Sebastian? Their marriage goes back to where it was prior to lockdown, but many unexpected twists prevail.

The sexual fantasies of the other man appear back in Charlie's life, just as the marriage is back on a downturn. After sexual encounters during lockdown, Life After Fifty is about to change, and Charlie knows she is about to reach a new chapter in her life.
