 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| Do I have a favourite author? Hmmm, I read many books and most I enjoy. For a quick read I turn to James Patterson and his co-writers. There are different lead characters and back stories. Oh, wait, he's the most prolific writer. I joke with the local librarian that JP needs an entire space for his own works. I like mysteries. The one author I admire and anticipate new books from is Canadian, Louise Penny. She has crafted a series based on a French-Canadian detective, Gamache. The fictional town she describes, Three Pines, glows with the quirks of its citizens. An elderly, curmudgeonly woman is unapologetically her in-your-face self. She writes lovely poetry yet is at her best abrasive. LP too is a murder mystery author. Gamache believes in the psychology of crimes. The why of who-done-it is worth the read. I recently discovered authors Harlan Cohen and Michael Connelly. Their characters are also compelling. |
