Order of Joan Medlicott Books
Joan Medlicott is an American author of women’s fiction. The idea of being an author never crossed her mind until 1989 when she found out how many women actually live celibate married lives. She teamed up with Diana Waltz to write her first non-fiction book, Celibate Wives: Breaking the Silence. Soon afterwards, she got the idea to write fiction and came up with the idea for her Ladies of Covington series. She went to her computer and began writing with no plot in mind and just started writing.
Joan Medlicott’s first novel was The Ladies of Covington Send Their Love, published in 2000. Below is a list of Joan Medlicott’s books in order of when they were first released:

Several years ago, I read that Ms. Medlicott was working on another Covington book, where the ladies take a trip to Egypt, I think. Anyway, here it is, 2021, and I haven’t seen any sign of the return of “the ladies.” Will there ever be another in the series?
