Sweat. Swear. Sparkle. Menopause like a queen! Refreshingly honest, humorous, and empowering exploration of one of the most significant yet often misunderstood phases of a woman's life. Chantal Munro takes readers on a no-holds-barred journey through the highs and lows of menopause, shining a light on the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges that come with "The Change." But this isn't just a survival guide - it's a celebration of the transformation and growth that menopause can bring. Munro's candid reflections remind us that menopause is not the end, but a powerful new beginning—a time to shed old roles, step into our true selves, and find joy and freedom in the years to come. Through laughter, tears and everything in between, this book is a must-read for any woman ready to embrace the fabulous side of menopause.

colouring-in & activity book
​So much more than a colouring book, it's an introduction to the characters and places in TickleTouch, it’s also an activity book and learning resource. This is my first collaboration with my publisher and best friend, Crystal Leonardi, who designed the fantastic layout and digital graphics.

Reviews from focus group target read.
* The characters captivated me from the start. Each time I had to put it down, I would be wondering what was going to happen next – I really wanted to know. Even though I think it’s directed at children (and my children LOVED it – they’re still talking about F.A.R.T.’s!), it definitely has appeal for adults as there was quite a lot of adult humour and “cynicisms” about society today.
* I loved the messages that the book had. They were very simple and very well put across. It really made me think about what we do as humans as a whole, but also, what we can do as individuals to help each other and the environment. On a personal note, it gave me a “lightbulb” moment – hold no grudges. People make mistakes, but mistakes can be made right again.
* I’m so looking forward to reading the novel and finding out more about the characters and how they came to be. I have a particular fondness for “King Grub” and “Zion the Lion”.
* This story will captivate children and educate the grown-ups! Magical, inspiring, funny, witty and educational! Loved it!
* Loved it! It was great humorous, positive and loved the characters!
* Can’t wait to see the mini-series, just wanted more!
* Clever, witty, socially relevant! Just brilliant!
