Stella Fosse is the nom de plume of an author of a certain age, who in her sixties started writing sexy stories as a creative antidote to the ageism and sexism older women face in society.
She champions older women’s creativity by leading workshops in seasoned romance, erotica, and memoir writing.

Stella is a frequent guest on podcasts for women past midlife. She has been published in many online venues. Stella also blogs about issues of interest to Women of a Certain Age, including creativity, romance, and older women’s health.

Her new book Write & Sell a Well-Seasoned Romance empowers women to tell vivid stories of late life love.

Traditionally published works include her book Aphrodite's Pen: The Power of Writing Erotica after Midlife.
