from my best friend in high school, Here it is, Valentine's Day, 2014

It was six years ago that another Valentine’s Day inspired me to begin writing a book about love after 50. Many of you have read that book and let me know how much you like it. Autumn Romance is now downloadable on Kindle—and will soon be coming out in paperback!


Special for Valentine’s, if you buy a copy of Autumn Romance from Amazon, you can download the Kindle version for FREE.


The other thing I want to tell you is that I’ve started a new website www.CarolRuthDenker.com http://www.carolruthdenker.com/ and a new blog to talk about Late Life Journeys. http://latelifejourneys.com/ My own journey was so transformative, I changed my name. I’m also gathering stories about others’ late-life adventures (becoming an artist, starting a business, healing from old hurts). That will be a photo essay book, similar to Autumn Romance.


Please contact me to share your own “late life journey” so I can feature it on my blog and hopefully include it in my book.


I love this quote: “You can’t be the hero of your own life until you have fully accepted it.” So please give yourself a big dose of love and acceptance for Valentine’s Day.
