Eleanor's Letter: Special Edition - exciting news!

My book has been made a Waterstone's Pick of the Month which means you lovely subscribers can buy it half price.. see below for details

Dear Queenagers

Well, I’ve just been given some very exciting news - which I can’t quite believe. Waterstone’s have made my book - Much More to Come: Lessons on the Mayhem and Magnificence of Midlife - one of their ‘picks of the month’. Which means that you can buy it for half price - £8.49 not £16.99 between today (July 1st) and August 31st. You need to click on this link or go to Waterstones.com and use the code Muchmore50 to get the offer.

This book has got all of me in it -I feel like I’ve squeezed any bit of insight or wisdom I ever had into its pages. And much of it has been informed by you wonderful Queenagers on this newsletter so it seems right that you are the first people to get the offer and hear the news!

I feel shy about urging you to buy it. But if we can get a good wedge of pre-orders more book shops will stock it and we can really spread the word about the Queenager revolution: that you are never too old and it is never too late! I would so appreciate it if you could pre-order a copy on that link! Don’t do it just for me - do it for all of us!

I truly felt when I was whacked from the job that had defined me at 50 that I was on the scrap heap -that it was all over. Now thanks to all of you I am more excited than I have felt for decades. Not just about my own life, but what is possible for all of us and for all we are doing to change things. So THANK YOU all - and can I ask you a favour? To spread the word about Noon.org.uk and this newsletter and all we are doing? Tell your Queenager friends, maybe even buy them the book?

I’m also proud to reveal that the book has had some lovely pre-publication quotes:

Carol Vorderman said: 'As a post-menopausal woman, l can absolutely tell you that it’s a freedom to be who you were always meant to be, and this book confirms it’

While Liz Earle said it is: 'A warm, witty and wise guide to embracing midlife – and far beyond’

Thanks so much for your ongoing support - together we really can change the story society tells about the later stages of women’s lives to something more positive and fit for purpose!

Lots of love

Eleanor
