They will be the focus of my third book, coming out next year, organized into various useful categories. The female form and the male form will have their own separate chapters.

How Humor Boosts Confidence
Unattractive. Old. Not enough. How many of us have felt like that? I certainly have. Finding out the man I’d believed to be my soul mate and partner for life was in love with a girl almost the same age as our son shattered my confidence. Continue reading How Humor Boosts Confidence
Are Infidelity Surveys Worthless?
So say you’re having a secret affair, squeezed into your busy schedule as you juggle your family life with illicit interludes. What would you rather be doing—having torrid sex with your lover or filling out a survey about it? You could always do the survey during family time—just make sure that your spouse isn’t looking over your shoulder. Continue reading Are Infidelity Surveys Worthless?
Glenda Green Didn’t Want to Read My Book yet Liked It!
The comedy self-help memoir I’ve just had published, “My Wild Ride: How to Thrive After Breast Cancer and Infidelity,” references almost 70 books, including one of the most quoted books in modern spiritual literature, the bestseller “Love without End” by Glenda Green. Continue reading Glenda Green Didn’t Want to Read My Book yet Liked It!
Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2022
This year’s gifts are hypocritical, vulgar, inconsistent with my mission message and politically incorrect. But as I once heard Love Without End author Glenda Green say, “politically correct” is always political and rarely correct. Yes, I know that the mantra of my comic self-help book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, is that the best revenge is to get past the need for it, but at least for my annual Christmas gift list, humor trumps platitudes. Continue reading Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2022
Success versus Purpose
A recent LinkedIn post by Dr. Manoj Krishna, founder of the Human Wisdom Project, asking the question, “What does success mean to you—is it wealth, fame or something else?” got me thinking. Continue reading Success versus Purpose
Roller Coaster Ride with CJ Grace: Review by Paul Janes-Brown
My Wild Ride: How to Thrive After Breast Cancer and Infidelity is the latest book by CJ Grace. Her first, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, covered infidelity issues. My Wild Ride is an in-depth, how-to guide, thoroughly researched, filled with anecdotes and generously dosed with Ms. Grace’s sardonic, Pythonesque humor. Continue reading Roller Coaster Ride with CJ Grace: Review by Paul Janes-Brown
If You Don’t Laugh, You’re Gonna Cry
Here I am chemo-bald. I cannot compete with that famous photograph of Joan Lunden battling breast cancer on the cover of the October 2014 edition People magazine. The TV host looks stunning with or without hair. I do not, so this hairless cartoon of me will have to suffice. Continue reading If You Don’t Laugh, You’re Gonna Cry
Putin the Stud and Polonium Tea
Looking for a powerful, influential man to marry? Do you want a guy with a warlike disposition and a lot of balls? How about someone bare-chested who can wrestle a bear? How virile is that? Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially been single since 2014, when his divorce from Lyudmila, his wife of 30 years, was finalized. Prior to her marriage, she was an Aeroflot flight attendant. Continue reading Putin the Stud and Polonium Tea
The Sweetest Revenge
I heard about a contractor who was so angry about his wife’s infidelity that he filled her car with cement. Everyone laughs when they hear that story. But where does a couple go from there? Definitely not reconciliation, and most likely an expensive acrimonious divorce. Continue reading The Sweetest Revenge
Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2021
Yes, I’m a hypocrite and inconsistent. In the last four years I’ve compiled a list of spoof Christmas gifts for a cheating ex, I haven’t included links to get any of the items. The mantra of my book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, is that the best revenge is to get past the need for it, so I didn’t want to encourage anyone’s vengeful instincts. Now, by popular demand I’m including links to buy any items that are readily available. Some people told me they wanted to get things I mentioned in my previous 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2016 lists for friends, relatives and existing partners. There was a worldwide shortage of unfaithful exes in in 2017, so I never compiled a Christmas list for that year. Actually, I’m lying about that—I just dropped the ball. Continue reading Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2021
Massive Penis One-ups Adulterer’s Wife
“This is my eyebrow raiser,” declared my quirky friend Marc Jarrett, proudly holding aloft his copy of How to Cope with a Massive Penis by Karl Robshaw. I had just presented him with a copy of my book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not and he was reacting to a story I had told him about Stephen Lewis, a wonderful British eccentric I used to know, Continue reading Massive Penis One-ups Adulterer’s Wife
Forgiving Infidelity: Better after Betrayal
My eyes were so blurred with tears, I could barely read the text on the computer screen. I was checking the final corrections to my husband’s latest book. A tear dripped onto my handwritten notes, smudging the ink. Our office manager sat beside me. I blew my nose and told him I was suffering from terrible pollen allergies. Continue reading Forgiving Infidelity: Better after Betrayal
Should You Tell Someone Their Partner Is Cheating?
My husband was unfaithful throughout almost three decades of marriage. I take a controversial view. I was grateful I didn’t know about it till the end. Continue reading Should You Tell Someone Their Partner Is Cheating?
