This month marks the 10th anniversary of my “retirement” (I went on pension and social security in August 2014). When I’ve finished, I’ll send you something I’m writing about ten years into “reFIREment.”

My innate contempt for authority got the best of me in my early sixties. Despite my success in biotech leading teams of writers putting together lengthy FDA submissions, I struck out on my own and started writing whatever I wanted. It's not exactly retirement - my fifth book publishes at the end of this month - but I am thrilled with how it's going. My niche turns out to be fiction about vivid older characters. I also lead fiction workshops for olders. My new book is a how-to manual for new writers over fifty who are sick of reading Romance novels about characters their children's ages. It's called "Write & Sell a Well-Seasoned Romance."
