Adulting for Amateurs
From the author of A Product of Genetics (and Day Drinking) comes a rowdy and hilarious new collection of essays on life as an elder millennial, filled with life lessons on everything from marriage to parenting to rolling with the punches when Gen Z mocks your TikTok dances In Adulting for Amateurs, Jess H. Gutierrez marvels at how--we can't avoid the fact anymore--her cohort, the millennials, are approaching middle age. While 1998 seems like just yesterday, we are now grown-ups who feel like we're still growing up. And at forty-two, Jess has quite a trove of stories to tell. Jess is leaning into her geriatric millennial years and reflects on how growing up does not necessarily bestow one with maturity. When the dinner covers were lifted to reveal vertically posed sausages, hundreds of the fanciest wedding guests, including the mayor, were treated to a demure and refined Jess's explosive guffaws. While Jess's brothers now have wholesome families and responsible jobs, she can't stop one-upping them, even if it gets her brother nearly fired by a potty-brained prank right before he scrubs into surgery. When Jess and her wife booked their first grown-up vacation, they discovered too late that their Hawaiian trip was to a Mormon resort and therefore completely alcohol free. So Jess and her wife bravely put on their big-girl panties--and slunk off in a makeshift escape from this cheerful teetotaler paradise. Turns out, even as a responsible homeowner with a mortgage, three kids, and a yard of chickens, Jess might not have matured much beyond her twenties. She's still the woman who in an earlier era survived queer-dating fails and aughts-era pop culture moments--ultimately discovering that an illegal rave cannot heal a broken heart and that vampire-romance franchises are terrible dating manuals for a budding trailer park lesbian. Altogether these are the makings of delightful material for this bawdy--sometimes poignant and, dare we say, occasionally wise--new read.

Lost and Found. The Misadventures of a Relucent Trekker
Samantha O'Sullivan, a fiercely independent thirty-two-year-old businesswoman, has built a thriving consultancy, SOS Management, fuelled by her late father's belief in her and her own relentless drive. But beneath her polished exterior and sharp wit lies a woman grappling with grief over her mother's sudden death, burnout from her workaholic lifestyle, and an unrelenting inner critic she calls Karen.When a tipsy, ego-driven bidding war at a charity auction for Jersey Cheshire Home lands her a spot on a ten-day trek through Vietnam's rugged countryside, Samantha's life takes an unexpected turn. Trading her beloved Jimmy Choo stilettos for hiking boots, she embarks on a journey that's as much about self-discovery as it is about surviving the jungle.With no natural aptitude for trekking, Samantha's preparation is a comedy of errors: early-morning walks in pouring rain, a humiliating swimming pool defeat by a woman walking laps, and a catastrophic "poonami" incident that leaves her mortified. Her training is further complicated by Karen's snarky commentary, workplace betrayals orchestrated by her former mentee, Lorena (aka the Lousy Dosser), and nagging suspicions of early menopause, prompted by a colleague's offhand remark and her own hypochondriac tendencies.A disastrous attempt to find a walking partner through a misinterpreted personal ad yields 12,456 emails (many with unsolicited photos), forcing her to join group hikes where she meets James, a charming lawyer with a knack for spotting her Patagonia price tags, and reconnects with Kev, her ex and "the one who got away," now a private investigator uncovering corporate sabotage at SOS.As Samantha trains for the trek, she battles blisters, self-doubt, and the emotional weight of her losses. The Vietnam trek itself is a gruelling test of endurance, filled with mishaps like getting lost on a mountainside with Lorena, who she learns isn't the villain she imagined. Through heartfelt conversations, Samantha finds closure, forgives past grudges, and reconnects with her mother's memory.The journey culminates in a joyous reunion with Kev, who flies to Hanoi after a drunken late-night call, sparking a rekindled romance and a proposal that promises a new chapter. Alongside new friends like James and his partner Richie, she discovers that getting lost in the chaos of life is the first step to finding love, purpose, and herself.Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Lost and Found: The Misadventures of a Reluctant Trekker is a vibrant tale of resilience, friendship, and transformation. Donna Abel's debut novella blends fierce wit, raw emotion, and the candour of a best friend's oversharing, making it a must-read for anyone who's ever stumbled, literally or figuratively, on the path to rediscovery.Perfect for readers who love: Humorous memoirs like Wild by Cheryl Strayed, heartfelt stories of grief and healing, and laugh-out-loud adventures with quirky characters.Samantha O'Sullivan has it all together, on paper. A thriving consultancy and a voice in her head named Karen that just won't quit. When a drunken charity auction lands her on a trek across Vietnam, Samantha is forced to lace up her walking boots, face her fears (and menopause?), and take life one blistered step at a time.This laugh-out-loud and unexpectedly touching memoir explores grief, grit, and the glorious mess of getting lost to finally find yourself.Key Themes: Grief, self-discovery, resilience, friendship, forgiveness, and second chances at love.Length: Novella

Riding the Retire Roller Coaster
Just a girl from Brooklyn, New York, who worked for 50 years of my life and is now retired, stepping into senior life all at once. I decided I needed to share my adventures, from retirement and moving into menopause to meeting my husband later in life-I couldn't have asked for a better partner, especially one who can put up with me!I'm thrilled about this roller coaster ride I've captured in my book, and I hope readers find it as interesting as I did while writing it. I realized I needed to say these things out loud-topics people talk about but often don't discuss openly. When I would ask older people about it, they'd often respond, "Isn't that private information?" But how was I supposed to learn anything or know what lies ahead every day?Here I am in my late 60s, and so far, so good, but I also wanted to know more. That's why my book is like a roller coaster, and I hope you'll take the journey with me. It's fun, sometimes embarrassing, filled with special moments-it has it all! I'm here to answer the questions no one else did, so I hope you enjoy the read.
