Call to Action: Ageless Authors Sponsors Readings of Anthology, Other Works in Your Hometown
We’ve already held such events in the home cities of our two directors. Larry Upshaw emceed a reading in the Dallas area of those published in the first Ageless Authors Anthology at Half Price Books in January. Five senior writers signed books purchased at the event and writers working on pieces for our current writing contest asked questions of the winners about the contest and how to submit their work.
Jean Yeager, our newest director with responsibilities in IT and promotion, expanded the concept with an open mic night at this local bookstore, Phoenix Books in Rutland, Vermont. Prior to joining the Ageless Authors staff, Jean was a first prize winner in the essay category in our first writing contest. He read his winning essay, “The Kite of Our Genius — Sail On.” He also invited local senior writers to read their work to an overflow audience at the town’s main bookstore, and 15 local people responded.
Other readings/signings/workshops are being planned for senior writers across the country. Events should include reading from the Ageless Authors Anthology and other works. We can help you set up the event, make sure the bookstore has copies of the Anthology, secure other readers and publicize the event.
For more information on these events, email us or call Larry Upshaw at 214 405-5093.
The Ageless Authors event was a big hit at Half Price Books in Dallas. These events are probably best held in bookstores, where the Anthology can be stocked and managers are often more receptive to publicizing the event.

BOOKSTORE
Our online bookstore is a work in progress. Very soon, it will sell titles that interest senior readers, most of them written by older writers. But this is the portion of our website that will take some time to set up. If you are 65 or older and have a book to sell, send us information on it. In the meantime, we want to tell you about the other benefits of Ageless Authors. Let’s just say the Ageless Authors Bookstore is coming soon.

One father’s gift and how his daughter repays him
By Rebecca Witzke
My father, Gust Cougias, has been telling me stories since I was a small child. Most were make-believe adventures that would take my imagination to places I could never go to on my own.

Th3 Simple Questions: Slice Open Everyday Life
By Jean W. Yeager
REVIEWS:
MARK KRAUSMAN / GoodReads Review – 5Stars – http://ow.ly/Xrp0G
“Honestly I have been in a slump for awhile when it comes to reading books until I got my hands on this one… let’s just say this amazing book found me and I am ecstatic that it did. The style of short essays or “slices” each with the “Who am I”, “Why am I here”, and “What do I want”, format took me by surprise as it was an energizing way to read and process thought provoking concepts with each “slice” only being a few pages long and the analogies were artfully presented as real life experiences to which anyone can relate.”
JACK MAGNUS / Readers Favorite Review: http://ow.ly/Xrogz
“When I finished the last response to the three simple questions, I realized that I had gotten to know a kindred spirit, someone whose blog seems well worth getting to know a lot better. Th3 Simple Questions: Slice Open Everyday Life is highly recommended.” 5-Stars
