Being old ain’t easy, but it’s fun when chasing a killer

“If you write about old guys, it proves you’re an idiot,” a publisher friend told me, “Old guys don’t buy fiction books, only old women do.”

So, what did I do? Yup, I wrote a novel about old guys solving some murders in Who’s Killing All My Old Girlfriends.

I did it for a couple of reasons: 1) I’m an old guy; I know old guys; I know how they think, 2) Old guys are a lot more fun than most people think.

What if you’re not an old guy? What if you aren’t even 50 yet? Are you allowed to read Who’s Killing All My Old Girlfriends? I think you’d enjoy it anyway, and it sorta gives you a preview of what’s in store for you.

If you have an old grandpa, consider buying him the book. He’ll thank you, and maybe put (keep) you in his will.

It’s a fast read. Old guys like things fast.
