Hi. I'm Joan Eliabeth Lloyd. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

Pesonal stuff: I was born in 1941 - yes, as of this writing I'm 77. I have a wonderful partner of thirty years named Ed (no, we're not married - for tax reasons) two wonderful daughters, a talented son-in-law and three grandchildren, Sarah and Adam, both out of college and gain-fully employed and Luke, aged 15.

Professional stuff: I wrote my first book, Nice Couples Do, in 1990, because I wanted to share my ideas about sexual communication and sexual freedom. I've written many books (novels and non-fiction) since but stopped writing several years ago.

As you may have gathered, I'm a devoted couch potato. I'm an omnivorous reader, both in my eyes and in my ears.

My present interest is in Battered women. I donate earrings, about 900 pair a month, to shelters all over the country, with the help of attendees at my many workshops.
Phew!!!!

The Secret Lives Of Housewives by Joan Elizabeth Lloyd reveals very little in the way of secrets. The characters are caricatures of poor Lifetime movie events and books written many times before. Not original at all and predictable to the point failing to hold interest.

I love this book, it not only explains what friendship is about but gives you what to envision about sex as well.

Lloyd writes the raciest chick-lit I've come across yet. She doesn't pull any punches when it comes to sex scenes.
