I write OA (older adult) fiction. My debut novel about two women, 50 and 90, won an award. Do you have an OA title to share?
You’ve probably noticed I’m not that reliable with blogging lately. After ten years (!), I’ve decided to move exclusively to my monthly newsletter. You’ll find news about my books and appearances, but also helpful tips for navigating your middle-aged life. You’ll also find recommendations about other authors who write about midlife characters.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars Katherine Center is one of my fave authors, but I this was an earlier work, and it’s not as good as her others. Also, Jenny’s mom was a normal, good person and the subplot worked to support the main story line. The crisis and Jenny’s bad decision-making came pretty late. Her character arc was completed by virtue of her having a thought bubble at the end of the story, rather than taking action.
I’ve been having heart palpitations, but got all the tests and my situation is pretty minor and no big deal. Mom moved out of her house and into a board and care facility (group home), so we’re clearing out her stuff, which is wrenching and maddening. My writing has really suffered, I’m fat and behind deadline, cancelled the editor and cover designer, but I’m optimistic about the future. Those heart palpitations turned out to be PVC and PAC both, which isn’t life-threatening but does make me uncomfortable, and bonus, I can’t drink anymore, because that makes my heart go nuts.
