About the Book

TO BE SIXTY-SOMETHING AND STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING? Is that how it works? Carl Postell believes it is. He has traded a successful accounting career for a pair of part-time jobs---to pursue his dream of being a writer. Until, that is, he meets her---Maria Ruiz, his aging father's caregiver. Soon he finds his literary aspirations overwhelmed by surprising new distractions. AS UNOFFICIAL HISTORIAN OF THE CLASS OF 64, Jack Benz has his own reasons to locate Cynthia Larson, the one-time Prom Queen and social diva who has inexplicably become HIs obsession. Though she had never paid attention to the likes of him, there is an unexpected urgency in his need to find her. FOUR TIRED AND LONELY SOULS, who have spent a lifetime becoming who they are. Yet even in their October Years they find themselves still in a 'BECOMING' mode, continuing their life journey from one circumstance to another---still Becoming.
About the Author: How are you spending your retirement? Did you take up golf? I tried that myself. Or did you go looking for the hobby that was just right for you---choosing from the many thousands of activites that bored retirees have used to fill their empty hours? I did a bit of that too. And, of course, there is travel. The wife and I have seen places from the left coast to the right, and lots of sights in between. We did our mini-Grand Tour of Europe and lived in England. In retirement we've been there, done that, and enjoyed it all. Then, on the eve of my fiftieth high school reunion I was unexpectedly hijacked by Second Chances. Before long that introduction to Tanner, and other stories about the friends I made there, had become The Tanner Chronicles, which in turn had become something of an obsession. What began as timid scribbles on yellow pads had morphed into serialized website stories, then ebooks, and now Print of Demand paperbacks. It has been a slow, sometimes bumpy learning process---creating the eight novel length stories that sit on my shelf. But with my English teacher traveling partner on board for the ride, acting as proofreader, editor, and critic, retirement has become a matter of too few hours, not too many. Though I may have run out of golf to play, or places to see, storytelling has proven to be a different matter. Chances are I'll run out of hours before I run out of Tanner stories.
