Good Wednesday morning! I hope all is with you and yours. This morning as I sat fanning away yet another hot flash, my mind was whirling. A couple of months ago I mentioned that possibly a series devoted to the 40 plus heroine and hero might be on my horizon. Well now that the Five Oaks Ranch series is almost to a close, or will be by Christmas, I’m rethinking that thought.
Face it people, every second we’re aging. I know, you’re making a face at the screen right now, but it’s reality. Most romance novels are written about the younger heroines and heroes, but what about those older adults that want to find love. In today’s world many older people are looking for love, so why not put some romance into it. Hey, I’m nearing that halfway mark and I still love romance. Good thing since I’m a romance author 😉
The series, of course will be about romance, but with a little humor sprinkled in. Since I’m in the lovely throws of menopause I can so relate to the characters that are pushing their way to the front of my writer brain. Why not have a menopausal heroine or a hero going through a midlife crisis? I think it would make good romance material.
So, what are your thoughts?
As always, good writing and May God Bless You…

I’ve gone WAY BEYOND the halfway mark, Stephanie, and I’m still “in love with love.” Yes, it seems the world of romance belongs to the young, but it’s a far cry from reality. Just ask any Boomer! Good luck with those miserable hot flashes, by the way. Maybe you can put all that “heat” into your stories! 🙂

I will pour all this heat gladly into my stories 😉 We’ll see how it goes!

Makes sense to me, Stephanie. Like Linda I’m well beyond the half-way mark, and then some.

My mind is whirling with ideas for the first in the series. Since I’m living in a menopause fog, that will fuel the stories 😉
