At last my second book is out ( 'A Long Dark Rainbow' published by those nice people at Book Guild). Early days but the response has been illuminating and seems to show the gulf between the young and old. Some (I presume the young) just don't get it (don't even want to be reminded that they too will grow old) and are embarrassed by the thought of wrinklies rolling about in bed and also in the garden (to be fair it was at night).
The book touches on the unhealthy impact of the Establishment on the individual, dark secrets, redefining the rules and some surprising eroticism (and all by a couple approaching seventy. How dare they) The eroticism was very difficult to write without being obvious or cheap or crude and of course if you are approaching seventy, then you may well have to shut your eyes and hope for the best.
