Produktbeschreibung

She's old-old school, has a backbone of steel a stiff upper lip and a heart of gold.

A poignant but humorous tale of a family reconnection.

Getting old is not easy, but it's more fun if you open your heart, mind and arms.

#1 International Bestselling Author
Pinnacle Award Winning Author
Finalist in OKRWA 'Contemporary Short' Book Awards
Readers' Favorite 5 star seal winner for six books

A compelling and humorous insight of past years and present dilemma's as Rose reflects on her usefulness in later life. Just as she acknowledges and accepts her sell-by-date is approaching, life suddenly becomes interesting again in more ways than one.

"I loved Rose's straightforward attitude and I especially enjoyed her blossoming friendship with Bill.
Terrific story, great characters and exceptional writing made this one of my favorite stories that I have read in a while. I will be looking into more by this author and I will definitely be recommending her to all my fellow readers." Lisa B

"This book was quite a thought provoking read. There were some really funny conversations and banter that brought a smile to my face. There were touching and emotional moments that made me connect to Rose and the story.
I admired Rose and her 'get on with it' attitude. She's old-old school, all about making do, saving pennies, waste-not want-not, thriftiness and needing to feel productive. A far cry from our modern, 'throw-away', fast food, instant gratification, consumer societies. She is sweet, loving and caring- but has a backbone of steel with a no-nonsense and 'proper' attitude. Rose reminded me of my Nan." Angela Hayes

"I love how this book ends with Rose having a purpose to live and a renewed vitality. This was a pick me up story and I would highly recommend this book to everyone" Sunday Barnaby.

Autorenporträt

I 'm very lucky to have the indulgence of time and space to enable me to write. I took a sabbatical from work to accompany my partner on his bucket list travels and adventures, and never went back. I really thought I would struggle with all the free time, so decided to write to keep myself occupied. Now writing has consumed my time and I am never sure where we will be or when, hence my novels could be classed 'international' as they may have been written across a few countries. We are still travelling, although we do pop back to the UK for a few months every now and again.

I love the fact that no matter what our age we can use new technology to connect to the rest of the world and enhance our lives. Back in the UK I have my friends and family and with emails, phones, Skype or face-time, we are never out of touch for long. Even my mother at eighty-six uses face-time to catch up with me. I have the world at my fingertips and only twenty-four hours away from anywhere.

Being a 'mature aging gracefully' woman, I feel akin to the problems of aging and relationships. I spent many years on my own before finding my truly remarkable and very patient partner who I happily gave up my whole world for. My stories are about mature relationships with mature people. People who have character and humour, who have a history; people just like us.

I like to call it Hen Lit, Not Chick Lit, but it is not just about falling in love. They are about real relationships.

I hope you enjoy my stories. Please check my web page or social media pages if you would like to contact me. I love emails and try to answer every one as soon as possible.
