Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age by Beverly Mahone
Publisher: Benoham Publishing
 First time Author Beverly Mahone is having a midlife crisis and invites you to share in her experiences!
Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age is a funny, sassy and inspirational look at the challenges self proclaimed diva Beverly Mahone faces as she journeys through middle age. The journalist-turned-author writes candidly about real-life issues such as weight gain and menopause. She also talks about her experiences with dating. When it comes to dating after 40, she says, "Dating at middle age can be challenging because all of us bring some baggage into each other's lives. Some of us have packed so much stuff over the years from bad relationships that we could take a trip around the world twice." She also gives her perspective on what it's like to work for younger bosses and trying to raise a precocious teenager. After reading Beverly's manuscript, Nikki Giovanni said, "I think your advice and your personal story telling help bring out your religious beliefs as well as your love of people...You are, I believe, the right story at the right time." Whatever! promises to inspire and keep you laughing as you reflect on your own experiences. It will also help those gearing up for their own middle age journey. The self-published book will be available in the June 1 at The Regulator Bookshop in Durham, NC or through her website: www.talk2bev.com. A book release/combination baby boomer birthday party for the author has been scheduled for June 17 from 3:30 - 6:00 pm at Ideas CoffeeHouse in Durham. She currently resides in Durham, NC where she is a motivational speaker and single mother of a teenage daughter. ISBN: 0-9779976-9-3 |

Pressed Pennies by Steve Manchester
Paperback- 252 pages
List Price- $15.95
Publisher- Sunpiper Media Publishing
ISBN- 0977005046
Available: B&N.com, Amazon.com, local bookstores  Compared most to the work of Nicholas Sparks (with a touch of Mitch Albom), Pressed Pennies is a tale of connecting love stories, proving that the world really is a small place and that the trick is to cherish it by living each of its moments to the fullest.
Amid the heart-warming romances and deceitful twists and turns, Pressed Pennies tackles the trying issues associated with living in a non-traditional family. In an era of divorce and single-parenthood, it is a story about raising children and peacefully co-existing; making it work with mutual respect and consideration. The book’s underlying theme is discovered in the evolution of the 80’s child. Though life begins as wholesome and innocent, technology quickly takes over. Suddenly, two parents must leave the home and go to work. Day care, fast food and a list of coveted luxuries replace long talks in porch swings, tree forts and family suppers. The price for comfort proves very expensive, though, as the American family is traded in for the American dream. www.StevenManchester.com |
