WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE is an 80,000 word version of what goes on in a retirement village in South Florida as seen through the eyes of four senior women. Though this is a work of fiction, many of the situations depicted were real. The authors may have exaggerated these events but they do represent actual incidents that took place in senior communities. Written in an anecdotal style, this novel explores the premise that life goes on after Social Security as does dating and intimacy. Children, even when they are fully grown, pose headaches for their parents. Death is a frequent visitor; the inevitable is always at the next sunrise. These women cope with humor and love. All of this, and more, becomes a way of life and they learn to manage and to survive with the hands they are dealt. We view their heartbreaks, their joys, their good days and bad, and their intense loyalty to one another. The strength of WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE lies in its honest dialogue, realistic situations, and its portrayal of what occurs with the graying of senior women. We learn to love these people, flaws and all, as we begin to understand that they are all a reflection of ourselves and that one day, if we are lucky, we will walk in their shoes.

When Jake Solomon learns of the death of his estranged father, including the fact that he was murdered, it is viewed as little more than an annoyance. But when he finds his father has left him $300,000 hidden in his secret toy chest and he discovers his father was a CIA agent involved with drug smuggling, this fosters an attitude adjustment, and Jake sets out to find out who his father really was.  In the mold of Chinatown, nothing Jake is told is completely accurate. He finds himself embroiled with a crooked FBI agent involved with the Chicago mob, a pimp who was his father’s army buddy and won’t give a straight answer about their activities, and a Viet Cong spy claiming she was his father’s mistress and that Jake has a half-brother entitled to half of his inheritance.  This tight eighty-thousand-word mystery, Chasing Lies, takes Jake down one blind alley after another as he weaves through a gauntlet of surprises and misdirection that will keep the reader’s heart racing long after they learn who was behind Sam Solomon’s death and why he was killed.
