Clare Imagined

Belle Blaney

Belle Blaney writes novels for Women in their Power Years. After the age of 40, aging is more than running through life with scissors. It is instead a vehicle for liberation, jolted awake and a joyful rebirth of self--renegotiating our lives with new directions sought. Belle gives the reader storylines that give not only provide powerful insights but also intrigue, love, romance, and adventure. Belle currently lives in Northern California with her black lab and calico cat.

In her first novel, Amelia; Going Under Rising to the Top, Belle gave women a story of lost love and betrayal followed by love re-surfaced and a restart in life. "We are often overlooked in love stories." says one reader. "Just because we're middle age, doesn't mean we are finished. We are just getting started."​​​​
In Clare Imagined, Belle gives hope to women by telling the story​ of another woman's journey-- out of a marriage no​ longer serving--toward a life meant to be lived. In every woman’s life there are crossroads —is it time to leave or​ could staying be the better path? Change is never easy, but it might just be the mid-wife toward the birth of true self. Clare Katz is about to reach that critical place of decision. If she stays, Mitch will die, bleeding on her new living room carpet. But if she leaves, she could forge a new path of a life best lived. With so much at stake, Clare asks help from Valerie and Jesse, two very different women with stories of their own. Belle Blaney does it again with magical storytelling set in real-life​ issues that matter to women. Clare Imagine keeps the reader wanting to read... what will Clare do next?

Woman over 40. Need to appeal to this age group with a whimsical look. NO young skinny women on the cover. However, the character is attractive, short hair and slender.

She is making a tough decision whether to leave the marriage and in that process, she's having daydreams of this better life...thus, Clare Imagining. Possible imaging: foreground: her imagined life, a piano, single-wide trailer, maybe a dreamy-look like the edges of my own bio photo. ​​​​

Nothing scary or crude. No young woman image. She is middle age.
