On PAR Woman, anyone?

“Christmas and Coconut Cake” — The gift that keeps on giving.

Sometimes good news comes from the past. I’ve just discovered, 5 years after it’s first printing, that House Housekeeping included my grandmother Eva’s Coconut Cake Recipe in their 2004 edition. And it’s still available.

In today’s fiction my main character is certain to be female and forty plus, sometimes decades plus, yet she will still be a vital, smart, sensually attractive, HARD-WORKING fully-alive human being. Fiction has caught up with a Baby Boomer truth: Life doesn’t end at forty or fifty. It doesn’t even slow down.
