“Is forty really the new thirty, or is it just an excuse for an older woman to date a younger man? Perhaps it is another chance at love? In Cougar Tales, three short stories give us a little insight into what it is like to want love and find it in a place and with someone younger than expected…” Sharel Love.

This is one a mother would tell all her friends about. And, no, I didn’t promise her my first born. Or the second, or the third.
Inspiration. It has to be something different, something not seen in exactly that way before, that fresh perspective on the ordinary.
…This is an intriguing look at defining one’s race in modern times when the child is the offspring of mixed races. Thea and Jesse make the tale work as each face complex identity issues with courage and strength.

Thea and Jesse are well-drawn characters, strong independent women who readers will love.
