And right on our site you can read Cruise to Seduction, our very own, very sexy romance about frustrated food writer Amanda, dashing CEO Jake, and emerald-laden sexpot Caren. The scene moves on tropical seas to ports in Key West, the Yucatan/Cozumel, and the Caymen Islands, and post-cruise, back to a Sex-in the-City kind of Manhattan. This original novel is published only here on Solo Lady. Even if you don't normally read chick lit novels, do try ours. It's a delicious read -- light, lively and fun, with a great cruise and solo travel backdrop. Romance and travel writer Alys Bohn (a solo mom) and our own Solo Lady, Lea Lane, co- wrote it with you in mind, and we hope you enjoy it!

Who You Are

Single Parenting Over half of adult women are not married in the U.S, and there are more single households than married. And we're a growing demographic all over the world!

The trend of singledom is due in part to our living longer, marrying later, or choosing to live solo. In fact, Solo Lady's motto could be: "I'd much rather be on my own ... than wish I were!" Whether never-married, separated, divorced or widowed, newly solo or always solo, young or old, straight or gay; whether or not you're a mom, dating, or in a relationship, whether you live alone or with others -- single women world-wide, you've found your home.

Who We Are

We're savvy, supportive single women, and we love solo living! As solo experts, we've won awards, authored columns, articles and books, and spoken at hundreds of conferences and events. We've chaired national panels, and written for/been interviewed/quoted in USA Today, USA Today Weekend, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Dallas Morning News, The Detroit News, Publisher's Weekly, Psychology Today, Self, Shape, Conde Naste Traveler, Vogue, Gourmet, Health, Budget Travel, AARP magazine and dozens of other newspapers and magazines; and we've been interviewed and quoted on ABC, NBC, CNN, The Travel Channel, fodors.com, cnn.com, aarp.com -- media including TV, radio and the Web.

Most recently: roadtripamerica.com; Up! magazine (WestJet airlines); Dealmaker magazine; Private Air magazine, huffingtonpost.com, and see Lea's recent comments on single supplements in Budget Travel ,and on cnn.com and msnbc.com
