Hi Carol – Thanks so much for letting me introduce two of my favorite people to your readers. I wrote
A Different Kind of Forever a number of years ago. This is the manuscript that got me an agent, and although she couldn’t sell the book, she loved the characters and story. It’s interesting – she told me that she felt one of the problems with the book was the older woman/younger man dynamic, and that she knew editors weren’t very keen on that. Boy, have times changed!
I’d been working on a new book, a follow-up to Better Off Without Him - which you reviewed last year - when I realized I had a great story just sitting on my computer. I had to tweek a few things – there’s a lot more texting now – but the story of Diane and Michael is just as good now as it was when I first wrote it. It’s a little spicier than my last book, something that is a major embarrassment to my teen-aged daughter!
The love story between a young rock star and an older, settled divorced mom could have been just a total fantasy, but I tried to imagine myself lucky enough to find an almost-perfect younger man, and I knew there’d be all sorts of problems along with all the good stuff. So it’s not just candle-lit dinners and weekends in bed. Hopefully, there’s also something for folks to really get their teeth into.
It’s out as an ebook, and will hopefully available as a paperback on Amazon in the next few weeks. Right now it’s $.99 and 79p in UK, until May 1. A real deal if you’re looking for a story with heat and heart.

Fascinating to read of how the whole older woman/younger man thing didn't exactly do it for agents/publishers then - the rise of the so-called cougar has a lot to answer for.
ReplyDeleteDee, isn't it great that we no longer have to rely on agents and publishers to get our books out there? Congratulations on your release of A Different Kind of Forever. You have a huge audience of Baby Boomers who are sure to enjoy it. (I didn't enter your contest because I already have the book on my Kindle.)
