She says that an advantage of writing as an older person, particularly if you\u2019ve led a fairly full life, is that you have plenty of experiences and memories to tap into. Add a pinch of imagination and you have a short story. Her book of 24 stories is called It\u2019s Never Too Late.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cityadventurers.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240530_1635471.jpg?w=766\" alt=\"David and Jean - authors Night - photo by Juliamaud\" class=\"wp-image-5536\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">David and Jean \u2013 authors Night \u2013 photo by Juliamaud<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to join us on an adventure?
