Love in the second half of life..... by Christine Bush

 
Recently, at a writer’s conference, a speaker was discussing several romance story lines she had come across featuring “older” heroes and heroines.  Being of a “certain age” myself, I like this.  How about you?

Whether you are young and sprightly, or like myself.. old and…NOT, do you like to read stories of people finding love at different stages of life?  I do. I believe that love makes the world go around.. and the more of it the better, in every phase of life.

I grin when I realize I’m a perfect example of this. I just got married two months ago! This is a story in itself.  Larry and I had been together 40 years ago.  Circumstances led us to part, each to go on to live a busy and full life, eventually marrying other people.  Life had lots of ups and downs. Many years ago, I divorced.  Then, last year, he lost his wife, after a long period of suffering with Alzheimer’s.

And then, he decided to find me. The years fell away, the memories surfaced, and romance bloomed, entwined with wisdom, experience, and appreciation of what really matters in life. Amazing.  We are very happy.

So yes, I am thrilled with the idea of “later life” love stories. In fact, my novella for next year’s Christmas anthology is plotted and begun, with a hero and heroine with quite a few years under their belts.

A while back, I wrote a short story with older characters, titled “ Cowboy Boots,” which talks about the idea of finding “forever love”.  Love is great, whenever it comes!  I’d love to hear any suggestions of good reads featuring romance in later life!
