Halfway There

By Aubrie Elliot

Aubrie Elliot is a middle-aged lesbian who isn’t quite sure what that means or how she got there. But everything suddenly seems bittersweet as she grapples with her new body, her old relationship, and her surprise at suddenly being “halfway there.” Told in a series of humorous vignettes, Aubrie offers a frank look at the ups and downs that come with looking forward and back. It's like sitting down with an old friend!

Aubrie Elliot

Aubrie Elliot is a long-time resident of St. Louis where she lives with her partner of 22 years, her two dogs, and the cat. To finish this collection, she finally took to heart “write what you know.” While this is a work of fiction, she’s definitely put herself into these stories. At this stage in her life, Aubrie knows how important it is to not take yourself too seriously, so she hopes these short stories are enjoyed with a knowing grin by her readers.

Reviews for Halfway There

[walruspublishing · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It’s like sitting down for coffee with an old friend—remembering, laughing, and complaining, but it’s all in good fun because women of a certain age have learned it’s better if you don’t take yourself too seriously.
