Renee Masters didn’t plan to be single in her forties—much less starting over with a dog she never meant to adopt, a run club she never intended to join, and a series of first dates she never wanted to go on.
After a quiet courthouse ending to her twenty-plus-year marriage, Renee is determined to figure out who she is without the roles she’s always played: wife, mother, caretaker. With sharp wit, a meddling but devoted circle of friends, and the occasional questionable life choice, she navigates the messy, funny, and unexpectedly hopeful terrain of post-divorce life.
As new friendships form, old wounds begin to heal, and one man quietly refuses to fit into her “friend zone,” Renee starts to realize that normal isn’t gone—it’s just been rewritten. And maybe, just maybe, this new chapter could be her best yet.
'A New Normal Life' is not just a romantic comedy novel; it is a warm, laugh-out-loud journey about heartbreak, healing, and the unpredictable ways love finds you when you’re finally ready. This contemporary romance fiction, penned by Kedzierski Author, captures the essence of women’s fiction and reminds us that life can take unexpected turns, leading to new beginnings.
Amy Webb has spent years keeping her life in careful balance—raising her teenage son, showing up for spin class, and keeping busy enough not to notice how still she’d become. Since losing her husband, she’d done her best to hold everything together. But when her son starts high school, Amy realizes she’s been avoiding her own chance to move forward.
After meeting her teenage son’s basketball coach, Amy begins to wonder if it’s time to take another ride—one filled with laughter, courage, and maybe even love. Between overgrown flowerbeds, and a few dating mishaps, Amy begins to rediscover what it means to watch something grow into something beautiful.
A Beautiful Ride is a heartfelt story about growth, resilience, and the courage to love again. Because while you can’t change the past, you can choose what grows next.

DownloadI started writing when I was a kid, crafting silly stories and poems. As an adult, I became more serious and wrote things like user manuals for software, training guides, and emails. Eventually, I decided to explore my creative side and wrote my first novel, A New Normal Life, which is a contemporary romance fiction that draws inspiration from my own zany experiences of singlehood later in life. When I'm not writing, I cherish time with my family, - especially my granddaughter - and enjoy hanging out with my boyfriend, Mr. Art, who made all the years of less-than-great dates worthwhile. Together, we love cooking, gardening, and traveling. I also indulge in various crafty and creative activities. I live in Texas with my dog, Tanner, and I am proud to share my romantic comedy novel and women's fiction with readers.
