Autumn Skye

Autumn Skye is the author of Cougar Puberty — a warm, funny, refreshingly honest book about what really happens to women in midlife.

She started writing after realizing the menopause books on her shelf fell into two camps: clinical guides written by doctors who'd never had a hot flash, and self-help titles too earnest to actually finish. She wanted the third option — the friend-who's-been-there voice, with real information and real humor.

Cougar Puberty is the first in what's becoming a much bigger conversation than she expected. More books are on the way, covering hormones in the kitchen, sleep that disappeared at 3am, brain fog and mood swings, the workplace, and the surprisingly good news about what comes next.
