Old Dame Dancing

by Nancy Parsons

In her eighth decade, and feeling compelled to comment on what "she got out of it all," Nancy Parsons offers this collection of casual essays. It's a mixed dish of memoir, social comment, and rant, loosely organized around the subject of aging, and seasoned with a healthy helping of humor. With the right attitude, growing older is an adventure. It would be a shame to miss it.

About the author

I’ve written just about everything—advertising copy, all forms of corporate communications, articles, short fiction, remedial textbook materials, memoir, humor and (for a short time) a blog. Oh, and books. I’ve written several, including several as a ghost. I’ve also taken the NaNoWriMo challenge (National Novel Writing Month) and written a 50,000-word novel in thirty days. I was dismissive about the idea but to my surprise, I loved the project, although I will say you can’t write a finished novel in thirty days.
