A Bit About Me
I am the creator of the blog Exwifenewlife.com and the author of the book, There's Been A Change of Plans, A Memoir on Divorce, Dating and Delinquents in Midlife as well as a contributor to Huffington Post, Bravo Personal Space and More.com. I love, and I mean LOVE a good Netflix binge and pretty much anything with salt. Please keep me away from salt and vinegar chips and dirty martinis. I live in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida and am the mother of four mostly well adjusted kids, plus a labradoodle named Reuben who shares a bed with me and my hubby. Oh-I'm a grandma now. It is the upside of parenting.

BOOK
"There's Been A Change of Plans..."
Blogger Amy Koko bears her soul in her witty, bittersweet memoir, There's Been A Change of Plans: Divorce, Dating & Delinquents in Mid-life. Expecting a trip to Italy, Koko is blind-sided by her husband’s confession that he’s been putting his shoes under a much younger and prettier woman's bed. After twenty-seven years of marriage and four children, she faces the unimaginable: her life as she knows it is unraveling around her and her family’s future is anything but certain.
In the literary tradition of Nora Ephron's Heartburn and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Koko’s memoir details her journey from hearing the news that her husband is in love with a blonde, thirty-something Swiss pastry chef to trying everything from thong underwear to a mini-facelift to save her marriage, only to see it die in the parking lot of gas station.
With incredible honesty and humor, Koko takes the reader on a wild ride through the tough, emotional times of starting over through divorce, mid-life, finding a job, and Internet dating, all the while trying to keep her four teenagers out of jail.
There’s been a change of plans, and that’s just the beginning.
