I'm thrilled to share some wonderful early feedback on my debut novel, The Golden Years Glitch. It's incredibly rewarding to see readers connecting with Andi's story of reinvention and resilience.
Here are a few highlights:
“Judy Smith is a fantastic writer. I thoroughly enjoyed The Golden Years Glitch – I could relate to so many different feelings! I loved how strong the protagonist, Andi, was – she did what she needed to do for herself. Fabulous book.”
— Susan Vuocolo Noles, contestant on ABC’s The Golden Bachelor
"The Golden Years Glitch ably depicts Andi’s empowering self-actualization. Realistic internal dialogue about decision-making adds a layer of authenticity to this unique spin on a coming-of-age story. A bighearted novel about finding fulfillment in the third act.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“An impressively distinctive and reader-engaging storytelling style. Original, deftly crafted, and emotionally engaging.”
— Midwest Book Review

Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing proudly announces the debut novel from Judy Smith: The Golden Years Glitch.
The Golden Years Glitch is a sparkling and empowering debut novel that redefines what it means to embrace life—and love—in the later chapters of life.
At seventy, Andi Parker is a devoted mother, grandmother, and successful businesswoman who believes she's heading into her golden years with comfort and companionship. But when her husband’s infidelity is revealed in a very public—and very unexpected—way, Andi must face the painful question of whether to forgive, endure, or begin again.
What follows is a bold and often humorous journey through heartbreak, friendship, personal rediscovery, and late-in-life empowerment. With a cast of unforgettable women and a refreshingly candid exploration of sexuality and self-worth in one's seventies, The Golden Years Glitch is both entertaining and inspiring.
Early Praise:
“A bighearted novel about finding fulfillment in the third act.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Fabulous book.”
— Susan Noles, contestant, ABC’s The Golden Bachelor
“A sparkling, sexy debut with a lot of heart and humor.”
— Suzanne Kamata, author of Cinnamon Beach
The Golden Years Glitch is ideal for readers seeking stories of reinvention, strength, and second chances—and will resonate with fans of late-in-life romance and heartfelt fiction.
