Here's a story from UPI that I include for any of you who may have thought maybe it's too late for you to write a book:
The author of "The Invisible
Wall," a memoir about growing up Jewish and poor in a British mill
town, is described by his publisher as a late bloomer; he's 96.
Although Harry Bernstein wrote short stories that were published
and a novel he said sold at least one copy, he didn't begin writing
"The Invisible Wall" until after his wife died in 2002, USA Today said.
Despite Bernstein's earlier novel, Random House touts "The Invisible Wall" as a debut by a 96-year-old author during its U.S. release March 19. "It makes for good publicity," said Bernstein, who lives in a Brick, N.J., retirement community.
Bernstein is putting the finishing touches on a sequel and is in contract negotiations. "I don't blame them for making sure I finish it," he said. If they give me an option today, I could be gone tomorrow."
