Fishtails: Men who bite, dates that suck, and other cautionary tales from a mid-life fishing expedition

FISHTAILS is a collection of essays that chronicle one woman's hilarious journey through a very modern midlife. Pushed into singlehood right before her 50th birthday, she begins Internet dating on a site called Plenty of Fish. Her fishing buddies include a platonic male roommate and a band of female friends who call themselves "The Tail Club" and assign points for every cocktail you don't have to pay for.

FISHTAILS tackles sociological issues like the myth of monogamy and "cougardom" with humorous veracity. As our gal encounters many fish; like one who nearly bites off her lower lip, another she thinks will someday kill her, and a polyamorous paramour who invites her to live on his ranch with his wife and two girlfriends, we learn that dating at mid-life has more drama than dating in high school.
