review of Love and Other Incurable Ailments by

LINDA K. SIENKIEWICZ
"Serenity is such an excellent narrator. Her perspective feels genuinely unique to anything I've read before, and experiencing the story through her eyes was probably my favourite thing about the book."

Because a large section of Highway 12 along the Outer Banks was torn up by this nor’easter, we’re taking a different route back home from Ocracoke Island, and that means we have to stay here a few extra days for a ferry. No better place to be!

A lifetime of sad lessons, reduced to one obvious grammatical error.

Woman walking on the beach with a basket. Text reads:

“In my life, I've lived, I've loved,
I've lost, I've missed, I've hurt, I've trusted, I've made mistakes, but most of all, I've learned...
"Shit Happen's"

Nothing is better than lying down on the floor to relieve your back pain and having your dog shove a toy into your gut because said dog thinks why else would my human by on the floor. #corgisky

So, you’ve probably never wondered about the lyrics to “Drunken Sailor,” or what “Weigh heigh and up she rises” even means, but if you’re a writer, you may need to know! Falling down rabbit holes of research is the joy of writing. lindaksienkiewicz.com/drunken-sail...

There she discovers unexpected friendships, uncomfortable truths, and the possibility of love. But when her happy ending goes awry, she must decide if holding on or letting go is the bravest thing she can do.

For anyone who read & loved Theo of Golden, plz read The Road to Tender Hearts. Both #books explore an old man confronting his past, but Tender Hearts is a far superior novel. Sharp & witty, You may be shocked or scandalized but what an adventure! And PJ is a more believable & empathetic character.

Linda K. Sienkiewicz recommends the book The Road to Tender Hearts

A new twist: A reader wrote that she enjoyed Love and Other Incurable Ailments, but added “the main character is definitely nuts…” Well, that’s one way to put it. Of course, _I_ have been called worse. The neurodivergent fan club might disapprove.

I really like this neighbor, and this sign. He purposely makes statements to get people thinking. He knocked on my door a few years ago to say he liked one of my chalkboards.

Cowboy is keeping us safe from television dogs. He warns us. Loudly. (There WAS a dog in this commercial. I just wasn’t fast enough in taking a photo)

Lately Cowboy has resisted taking a walk. He doesn’t like big noises, like a dumpster lid slamming or the speaker at the parking garage telling drivers to “insert a credit card…” Last night there were fireworks. Today I got him out with bits of cheese. We made it to the park but he hurried home.

A so-so review is part of being an author. Once your #book is out in the world, it’s no longer yours. But aking a funny video sure helps. And if YOU want to read my book for free on #NetGalley before its release date, please look for it, & maybe write a nice review to counter this one? 😉

Excerpt from my forthcoming novel, LOVE AND OTHER INCURABLE AILMENTS, a “witty and raw” story about a woman who reads discarded love letters and falls in love with the stranger who wrote them. See links in my profile for more. Coming 10-27 from @regalhouse.bsky.social!

Quote from the novel LOVE AND OTHER INCURABLE AILMENTS by Linda K. Sienkiewicz that reads “If I could have anything, go anywhere,
be anyone, what then? The Ocracoke lighthouse lamp glowed at me, inexplicably pulling me toward this broken stranger. I could spend a summer on the island. I could be the yin to Birdy’s yang. My simple but natural looks would stun him when he spotted me in a blowsy cotton dress, my long fair hair falling across my face as I picked
sun-whitened shells along the shore and dropped them into a tin pail. He’d say I alone could mend his shattered heart.”
Image shows a tin pail, a photo of a woman on the beach, seashells, a map, and a postcard of the Ocracoke lighthouse

Does this mean better health care? Child care? Freedom of speech? I’m all in.

September’s chalkboard-on-the porch is going out early. I felt compelled to honor Ms. Parton. She was a true hero in today’s world. A fighter, a lover and a generous human who acted on her beliefs.

Chalkboard on the porch reads “The magic is inside you. There ain’t no crystal ball.” -Dolly Parton
