In the Library (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man told me he was turning 90 later this year. When he heard a character in my book had a passionate romance at 86, he said he thought 86 was kind of young. I promised him that the next romance I wrote would involve mature adults.
Face to Face (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There were very few cars on the road and a lot of deer. I drove slowly and counted five deer either crossing the road in front of me or standing, undecided, on the shoulder, looking like they might make a dash for it. Then I saw a giant furry rump heading off the road and into the ditch, and knew the only thing that big was a black bear.
Unremarkable Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Interesting as a Caterpillar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five adults, four of them over ninety, sat transfixed by this little caterpillar zooming overhead in circles.

Read excerpt
