About the book:
For the last
fifteen years, Rose “Manny” Mankowski has been a very good girl. She turned her
back on her youthful fancies and focused on her career. But now, at the age of
45, she's questioning her choices and feeling more and more disconnected from
her own life. When she's passed over for promotion and her much younger new
boss implies Manny's life will never change, something snaps. In the blink of
an eye, she's quit her job, sold her house and cashed in her pension, and she's
leaving town on a six month road trip.
After placing a personal ad for a travelling companion, she's joined in her mid-life crisis by Zeke Powell, the cynical, satirical, most-read – and most controversial – blogger for the e-magazine, What Women Want. Zeke's true goal is to expose Manny's journey as a pitiful and desperate attempt to reclaim her lost youth – and increase his readership at the same time. Leaving it all behind for six months is just an added bonus.
Now, armed with a bagful of destinations, a fistful of maps, and an out-spoken imaginary friend named Harvey, Manny's on a quest to rediscover herself – and taking Zeke along for the ride.

After twenty-something years of writer’s block, she began writing again in
2008.
Victoria
enjoys reading all genres and particularly loves writing romantic comedy and
post-apocalyptic science fiction. What those two have in common is anybody's
guess.
She lives in
Edmonton with her two cats (The Grunt and The Runt). A Life Less Ordinary is
the first novel she felt was good enough to be released into the wild.
