So, I was supposed to be working on my
Paris memoir but I found myself working on the
Infidelity divorce book, which was next in the pipeline. It is an interesting topic and I think I will enjoy working on it but guess what? My fingers are cramping on me. So I have to stop. If not I could incapacitate myself for months. And I still have 80 books to write. How the heck will I ever find 80 topics to write about? Why in the name of all that is sane did I give myself this 100 book challenge?? My friggin' hand is seizing up already!
Read an excerpt:
Infidelity is one of the key
reasons for divorce in the United States and possibly in every other country in
the world. However, at this juncture, all states in the United States are now no-fault which means that, while infidelity remains a "grounds" for divorce in some
states, parties in a divorce no longer have to prove fault in order to obtain a divorce in any
state in the Union – and this applies even if the “fault” is as grave as
infidelity or adultery.
For some uncanny reason, when
couples cheat this often leads to the implosion of their marriages! What is up
with that? This is a worldwide trend.
Historically, infidelity has meant execution. This dates back to
biblical times where, under all three of the world’s major religious doctrines
- Islam, Christianity and Judaism - adultery was perceived as so grave a wrong,
that the punishment was swift and severe and bloody such as by death by stoning
or other inhumane means.
In more modern times,
infidelity has still carried quite a bit of stigma and could subject the
transgressors – especially women – to extreme consequences. In 1256 for
example, infidelity is rumoured to have been the reason that German noblesse Maria
Duchess of Bavaria lost her head after her husband had her executed.
Here is the tentative cover. This is my favorite part - creating the book covers. What do you think?
