Out of The Box Awakening

My new found friend and author Mary Reason Theriot – you’ve been such a huge help and inspiration to me and I owe you big time! You take time out of your busy schedule to answer my many questions and always lend an encouraging word. Much appreciated! Though we aren’t related, I feel we are kindred spirits.
Those who did beta reading, thank you all for your honest words. I took every comment; good, bad and indifferent and digested them with sincere appreciation.
I set out to write an age appropriate romance novel, addressing issues facing women in their late fifties—emotions and life changing events. To all the over fifty moms out there, who like me are regressing, still love to listen to music and bust a move dancing, I salute you! While we are aging, we are by no means dead and are forces to be reckoned with. We just happen to be women who are young at heart, living in older bodies enjoying life as it is thrown our way.
