Elsie wants to ride a rollercoaster. Thomas has an embarrassing secret. Frank and Douglas find love. Shirley launches her stand-up career. Millie organises a protest. Alexander wants them to get his name right.

Not Dead Yet is an eclectic collection of fiction about nursing home life for those often forgotten.

Laugh and cry as they run, stumble, fall, get up and live at this last stop.

Dried fruit gives me the runs
Boiled lollies hurt my gums
Giftshop flowers have no smell
Fruit jellies, well, they’re just hell

"Not Dead Yet!: Stories from the Last Stop" is a heart-touching slice-of-life book by Mark Fletcher. It shows us that life does not stop when one ages. Senior citizens have as much right to live life to the fullest as anyone else. Being old does not mean that one should await dead patiently. The stories revolving around the different individuals living in an aged care facility and the varied challenges they face make us see old people in a new light. Mark Fletcher is a brilliant writer that brings to life his characters through his si ple and realistic writing.

Touching, sometimes funny



A thought provoking read. Very touching and written with humour. Longevity brings challenges but it's good to have as much fun as possible for as long as possible.
