Welcome to the website of Ilsa Evans , author of Broken, ‘the laundry series’ and other books The latest book - Sticks & stones - is out now! Let me know what you think (unless it’s negative!) by emailing me at And follow me on my blog at http://themiddle-agedspread.blogspot.com. It’s all part of the journey towards the next book (tentatively titled The Invisible Woman, and other remarkable phenomena of middle-age), a non-fiction exploration of the good, the bad and the ugly issues around middle-age for women. From the intangible, like invisibility, mid-life crises, and the current cougar fad, to the tangible, like weight gain, chin hairs (WTF?) and grown-up kids who’re still dependent (can’t get more tangible than that). Join me - should be fun! And, if you’re somewhat middle-aged yourself, please take the time to fill in the five minute survey. Feel free to send the link on to your friends - the more the merrier!
