“Because nobody knows you better than somebody who knew you way back then.”
—Time Flies
About Time Flies
Years ago, Melanie followed her husband Kurt from the New England beach town where their two young sons were thriving to the suburbs of Atlanta. She’s carved out a life as a successful metal sculptor, but when Kurt leaves her for another woman, having the tools to cut up their marriage bed is small consolation.
She’s old enough to know that high school reunions are often a big disappointment, but when her best friend makes her buy a ticket and an old flame gets in touch to see whether she’ll be going, she fantasizes that returning to her past might help her find her future…until her driving phobia resurfaces and threatens to hold her back from the adventure of a lifetime.
Time Flies is an epic road trip filled with fun, heartbreak, and friendship, and explores what it takes to conquer your worst fears…so you can start living your future.
“Genuine, deftly drawn characters…[Cook’s] poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires.”
—Savannah Magazine
Thank you on this day, and every day, for your friendship and support.

Pretty in Pink!

Photo taken with my iPhone leaning up against a telescope. (If you can’t see the photo, go to https://clairecook.com/pretty-in-pink/) It’s a roseate spoonbill. The long beak is rounded like a spoon at the end so it can scoop up shrimp and other pink crustaceans, which is how its feathers get that great color.
