Where are the stories about women over 50? That's what I want to read, so that's what I write.
I also celebrate other authors who write midlife fiction. I've collected over sixty such titles on my Facebook author page.

“about to make, but the idea had faded. Not for the first time that day, she wished the hall outside her door hadn’t become the official gathering place for coworkers in search of gossip and idle chit chat. It wasn’t like her to lose focus so easily. Karen couldn’t afford to slow down,”

“Ben slumped into a chair in front of Karen’s sprawling desk, his eyes bloodshot. It wasn’t due to partying. The kid practically slept in his office. “Wes told me to fire Ashley.”

“Only way I can get any shut-eye is to sleep on the floor.” “I see.” “It ain’t permanent,” he said. “I’m working on it. I guess it’s about time! In the meantime, you know what I just put up? Curtain rods! I didn’t know there even was such a thing!” He showed me the rods he’d put up, and the curtains he’d hung from them. They were obviously used, but they were lovely, a burgundy-and-cream pattern made more beautiful by their fading, I thought, and I told him so. Three weeks later, he was sleeping all night in his bed. “It never was the bed’s fault,” he said. “Bed’s just great. But I’ll tell you something. Every night, I sit on the edge and think, ‘Now, do I want to sleep on the bed or on the floor?’ I guess that’s just the way it’s going to be with me.”

Hi Ina, I haven't actually been active in that group for over a year, but you might contact its founder, a woman by the name of Claude Nougat. Here is a link to her page, and best wishes. https://www.goodreads.com/ClaudeNougatLynne

Hi Lynne. Thanks for asking me to be your bookfiend. Oops I wrote book fiend instead of friend. Well we are both are we not? ;) Now I must find what I wrote for your review of an Olivia Goldsmith book. I am very forgetful and very curious. nosy?
Hi Lynne - I would like to recommend a book to you - "Old Filth" - it is about a lawyer (Failed In London Tried Hongkong = F I L T H) - this book is equally as good as Harold Fry AND the amazing thing about the book is that Jane Gardam has written the 'same' story again in a book called The Man in the Wooden Hat - this is written from the perspective of an enemy of Old Filth's there is a 3rd book in the series - I GUARANTEE if you read Old Filth then The Man in the Wooden Hat (which I read in 2 sittings) you will love them (I think the Hat is Better than Old Filth) I am just about to order the 3rd book from the library. Best wishes from Beryl
