(as yet unpublished) is set in a neighborhood of condos for retirees ... attached to an assisted care and nursing home facility. <br />My story features over a dozen characters of the Greatest Generation and (properly) affords them the respect they deserve.<br />Of course, they can also be quite unintentionally humorous, which I hope I've captured as well.<br />I'd love to read your book.

She pretends to be homeless, planning to write a book to re-energize her failing career, and, of course, finds a body. It's called Yesterday's Body. <br /><br />Thanks for asking!Norma Husshttp://normahuss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-88625770430918519742010-10-22T12:18:53.315-05:002010-10-22T12:18:53.315-05:00So do I, Norma.

I live in a retirement community and before my book was published one neighbor kept insisting I had to write a mystery about a retirement community. I told him a lot of others beat me to it, but I hadn't heard of your series before.

Her FBI experience would aid Jennie's investigations. I too am glad that your secondary characters are seniors. So many years of experience and knowledge wasted when seniors are put on the shelf, especially when it comes to predicting human behavior. Sure, youngsters know the lastest technology, but without the knowledge of human nature and experience, the naive are often fooled. Christie's Miss Marple was the perfect example. Good luck on the upcoming book and let us know the release date!E. B.
