My name is pronounced Aoife (EE’-fa) Aylya (ah-LEE’-ah) Mayze (MAYZ).
I’m a writer and award-winning editor and publisher. I’m also a newly divorced mother of 5, struggling through what is, so far, the most difficult period I’ve ever experienced. From the ruins of everything I’ve striven to build, I must now create the life I truly desire. This is a time of incredible learning and growth for me. I hope to help others by sharing my journey and add to your reasons to laugh as I stumble and bumble my way to ultimate success.
