Write ’til you drop—not from exhaustion but from age.

The publication of my latest book, Long Distance Grandparenting, is my second book with this independent publisher who offers an advance and royalties.

Long Distance Grandparenting is the result of interviewing, in person, by e-mail, snail mail and telephone, more than 60 grandparents for their wit and wisdom. And did they give out! Their ways of kindly disciplining, solving homesickness problems, giving baking lessons, and teaching ways of the wilds to visiting grandkids.

A reader e-mailed me this morning: “I’m so glad you reported the trials as will as the joys—great reading.”

My workshops encourage writers of all ages to capitalize on their own life experiences as grist for their writing mills.
