Interview with Susan Ricci: Everything Old is New Again

[Jon]

www.writeatyou.wordpress.com “Fasten your seat belts – it’s going to be a bumpy night.” When Bette Davis uttered those now famous words as the movie character, Margo Channing, in the 1950 release, All About Eve, who knew she was anticipating the story line for Susan Ricci’s new memoir, Dinosaurs and Cherry Stems? But she was.

Ricci’s book, now under development, tells the story of the once again “happily married” author‘s initial reentry into the modern dating scene. Like many of us, Ricci experienced an unexpected mid-life reboot, only to immediately plunge back into the fray. Her tongue-in-cheek, play-by-play account of her personal journey back from solitude to couplehood ranges from the hilarious, to the pathetic to the altogether unimaginable, as Ricci bumps along, crashing, burning, laughing and crying each unscripted step … on a ride that witnessed far more than a single dawn.
