\"\"Wow! There sure are a lot of detectives of “a certain age” out there in the world of mystery books! When I started going through all of my authors and trying to categorize them, I divided them into more obvious themes<\/strong>… I had sleuths who cooked and cleaned, \u00a0amateur detectives who gardened and golfed, accounting sleuths, amateur detectives who skated and golfed, sleuths who owned book stores or worked at libraries,\u00a0ETC. However, I think that the “senior” sleuth was the most ambiguous of all of the categories. When I was in my twenties, I probably would have said that 60s would be considered senior. Now, however, I don’t think of 60s as anywhere near “retirement \u00a0time.” (Note that I don’t say just\u00a0“retirement”…. since I am truly looking forward to the day when my husband can retire and we can really start living… it up<\/strong>, I mean! Travelling during the time when other people are locked into the school schedules, taking off when we feel like it, going where we want to go, ETC… and that’s a BIG “ETC” of all the things that are available once you retire from work… but by no means from life! <\/strong>(Enough philosophizing for the day!)<\/p>\n
