Gladys Johnson had never taken a risk in her whole life. She did all the things she was supposed to do when she was expected to do them. When her husband dies suddenly and leaves his secrets for her to find, she suddenly feels adrift, angry, and uncertain of her place in the world. Getting on the road in an RV to travel cross-country, she goes in search of the something that seems to be missing from her life. Nothing surprises her more than actually finding it. This is a part of my "Over 50" stories but has become too large for the short story anthology. I needed to move it to it's own book. I hope you like it!

She was a winter storm. He was trying to capture the cold wind on a blank canvas. Ember is a ski instructor who finds her solace in the Austrian Alps. Nathan is a burnt out designer who has come to those same peaks, hoping the frost will spark a muse he can no longer find. In the picturesque town of Kitzbühel, their worlds don't just collide....they converge. In quiet galleries, he teaches her to see the profound beauty in the blank spaces. On the majestic slopes, she shows him how to stop observing and finally live in the moment. This is a heartwarming story for people who ever felt lost in the chaotic world, reminding us that the most meaningful journeys lead us to friendship, different perspectives of life and finally, to love.

Getting older is no joke. Unless it's used as the punchline. It seems that once we (particularly women) pass a certain age, it's assumed that our personalities, dreams, sense of self, and thoughts about our future go right out the window. Surely we don't think about the future...aren't our lives over? By the way, the highest target audience here on WattPad is 25 and up - which confirms my point. As if the world at large, now that youth is behind us, thinks there is nothing left in our minds but maybe grandchildren, trips to Florida, and baking. As a woman rapidly approaching fifty...I can tell you this is complete and utter bullshit. I'm going to assemble a collection of 50 stories featuring leads that are over the age of 50. Some will be on the cusp...others far beyond it. Many will have elements of romance but not all. This will take a while but it's something of a passion project. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Some inheritances are simple. This one isn't. When Claire and Elliot are named co-executors of an estate neither of them asked for, they're forced into proximity, decisions, and conversations they'd rather avoid. The house comes with history. The responsibility comes with pressure. And the person across the table turns out to be far more complicated than expected. As deadlines close in and outside opinions grow louder, Claire and Elliot must learn how to navigate shared responsibility without losing themselves-or each other-in the process. What We Inherited is a contemporary romance about emotionally competent adults, quiet tension, and the unexpected intimacy that grows when life is already in motion. Updates every other day.
