Since January 1, 2006, Baby Boomers like me are turning
60 at the rate of 8,000 a day, and coming face to face with how to define, and re-define, our “golden” years.
Being part of this national phenomenon inspired me to write this mystery series.The first book, Retirement Can
Be Murder, tackles the potential emotional impact of retirement on a typical Baby Boomer couple, Jim and Carol
Andrews. Carol dreads Jim's impending
retirement more than a root canal without Novocain. She can't imagine anything worse than an at-home husband with time on
his hands and nothing to fill it -- except interfering the day-to-day activities of their houshold and driver her crazy. Until
her plans to stall Jim's retirement result in her husband being suspected of murdering his retirement coach.
Now that The Book is out, I'm doing lots of author talks and signings. The stories other wives have shared with me
about their husbands' retirement have been both funny and poignant. I'm thrilled to say that Retirement Can Be
Murder has gotten terrific reviews. Midwest Book Review calls it "an entertaining and
lighthearted read from a real pro. The Baby Boomer mysteries promise to be as germane as 'Murder She Wrote.' It would make
a great television series." And Booklist says, "We'll look forward to more Boomer mysteries in
the years to come....Pure fun." A little about me:
I've been a feature writer, drama critic, and editor for daily and weekly newspapers and magazines in the New York metropolitan
area, including a stint at Cosmopolitan magazine. I'm a member of Sisters in Crime and
the Cape Cod Writers Center, and divide my time between the Connecticut shoreline and Cape Cod, MA. I share my life with My
Personal Beloved, husband Joe, and three English cocker spaniels: Tillie, Tucker and Lucy. Ordering
