BOY

Of course it’s a boy.

DRUID

Priest warrior or druid warlord… expert in holy wars, apocalypse and Armageddon. 

OPHIUCHUS ASCENDANT

The ascendant is reptilian Ophiuchus, quite near to Justin Bieber’s. 

ACADEMIC ZODIAC BRIEF

The Academic Zodiac © 1973 has overturned a long-held assumption that the number of zodiacal stations was only 13 or 14. Prior to the present classification of Eris and Pluto, the zodiac had 26, even 43 (sic) stations. The number of zodiacal stations is 22. The present number of ascendants is 16. 

Many people raise an eyebrow when I tell them my recently released novel is a baby boomer novel. I can almost read their skepticism about the content as they imagine a novel about a get off my lawn kind of person. Goodbye Emily is a boomer novel. It's also funny and irreverent. It follows three baby boomers who relive their trip to Woodstock in 1969. One final roadtrip. One last chance to say Goodbye Emily.

Why did I write a novel that focused on three men age 60? What better group to create a character from. Boomers are talented, funny, shaped with experience, and in my case, influenced by the cold war, Camelot and Vietnam.

There's also a practical reason for writing for and about baby boomers. Boomers are the largest group of book buyers in the country. Will this change with the growth of Kindle and other devices? Hardly. Boomers are the largest group of ereader users.

Next time you consider a baby boomer novel, don't assume it will be about someone adjusting to retirement. Boomer novels are often witty, suspenseful and brilliantly crafted coming of (old) age stories. Just like all genres. So check them out.
