Some People Just Like the Feel of a Book

Great news! The paperback version of We Did This Once Before is now available.

Do you like reading about midlife people? Folks who’re finding a new gear, figuring out what to do with the second half of their lives? If so, check out We Did This Once Before, now in paperback as well as ebook!

Broke and lonely, Kim is about to make the worst decision ever.

You know I love to write about middle-aged women who live in a prison of their own making. The story is always about them discovering the key to escape and make a new life for themselves. In so doing, they show us all a different way of looking at life.

If that sounds good, read on for a brief description of the book.

Divorced and struggling, middle-aged Kim is hanging on by her fingernails. When her elderly mother invites her to move home to Florida, to the lush island of her childhood, Kim is tempted. She could spend time with Mom, start her dream business, and craft the perfect new life.

On the other hand, Mom has a Masters in manipulation, and there’s a reason Kim fled to California in her youth. But she’s too mature and experienced now to fall into the same family drama.

Telling herself it’ll all work out, Kim loads a rental trailer with her last few belongings and heads for Estero Island, hoping she isn’t making a huge mistake.

It feels like a miracle that this is my sixth book. After thirty years of working as a school district HR person — wishing, hoping, and dreaming of the writing life, but too tired and busy to pursue it — it’s really happening. I’m 67. I hope that proves it’s never too late to try.
