Dear Lisa and Madi,
I have a conundrum. I always hoped against hope that this wouldn’t happen to me, but, not surprisingly it did. My husband is having an affair. He hasn’t admitted it, but all the signs point to it. Besides, all men cheat, we know that. It was just a matter of time. Now, here I am. Forty years old with my freezer full of Edy Dibs for comfort and a failed marriage. I just don’t know what to do. I need help.
Miserable Madi from Michigan
P.S. I noticed your name is spelled the same as mine. I just hope your life doesn’t play out like mine.
Dear Miserable Madi,
Um…Lisa here. I'm not sure where you saw Maddie's name spelled "Madi," but hopefully Maddie/Madeline won't read this blog. She hasn't spelled her name "Madi" since she was eleven and was going through a Jaci Valasquez phase. Any reminder of those 12 months of her life, causes her to be irritable—usually with her mother/me.
But let's get back to you, Madi. It just so happens that I'm reading a book with the EXACT premise of which your conundrum is made! What are the odds??? This stellar novel is called, Mind Over Maddie, and was written (in a stellarly fashion) by a good friend of mine—Lynda Lee Schab. In the book, Madi (not to be confused with my Maddie) suspects her husband of cheating, and goes to a therapist for PROFESSIONAL help—something you won't find around here! In the novel's pages, you will find the help you need regarding your insecurities and suspicions—and maybe even your spelling. And besides getting answers to your questions, you will be entertained. The writing is sharp, witty, engaging and FAST-paced.
No moss will be growing on your trees!
That sounds stranger than I intended—but you get the picture.

Actually, I recommend Mind Over Maddie to anyone who wants an insightful yet humorous look into flawed and faith-filled womanhood! And Christmas is just around the corner!
So what do you think, Readers? Any other advice for our conundrum writer?
We hope you all get a copy of Lynda's book. You can order HERE, at Lynda's cool website, or go to Amazon.com. You'll be supporting a talented author in her debut-novel endeavors—and what could be better than that? Nada!
With Much and Mucho Love,
Lisa and Madi Maddie

Can't wait to get a copy of this book! It sound like a great read. (and did you misspell Madi when typing the book title on purpose? just curious, and trying to be helpful. Knowing you, it's a ploy of some sort. :) )
ReplyDeleteOops. I had to read the blog twice to get what you were talking about. Not a ploy--only a feeble brain at work:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic post!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to receive my copy and devour it! Congrats, Lynda!
Hey, it's me! Lynda Lee Schab, author of Mind over MADI. Wow...It IS weird that someone would write in with the exact problem as my main character (that would be MADI,not Maddie). I hope you will all be able to relate to her and hopefully take away something (like maybe that Edy's Dibs and computer solitaire will not solve your problems).
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning me and my book, Lisa. And thanks to you who have commented. You are all much appreciated!
Okay - TOTALLY, TOTALLY clever book review. Completely. And yeah. Gotta get my hands on this.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a clever book review--sounds like a fun book!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same as Cat, whether you intended to mix up Mad(d)i(e)'s name spelling. :) Very clever I might say. Can't wait to read this book, especially because I know the author.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lynda!!!
HaHA, awesomely wonderful book review. Love it. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteCool beans! Sounds like a winner :D Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, SocialStudiesSoubrette (love that) for stopping by. If you get a chance to read my book, I'd love your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteTo my FaithWriters peeps - Jo, Verna, Karlene, and Amy, thank you for all of your encouragement along the way. You guys rock!
