Aging Well 2020 and Caregiving
$3.99 – $10.99This is the newest and most comprehensive book on both subjects, not technical but conversational and sometimes even humorous. Most books on aging are written by those aged fifty or younger who never experienced the senior years. The authors of this book are 80 and 90 years old. They talk about aging and caregiving from the Old horse’s mouth.
Walter Oleksy, 90, author of more than thirty books and a former Chicago Tribune feature writer, reports the latest medical achievements for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other afflictions of the elderly. From his own experience as a caregiver, he offers advice on caregiving and nursing home visiting. Avis Carlson wrote a weekly newspaper column on aging for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when she was 80. She tells about the cons of aging: identity problems, self-esteem, aloneness; and the pros of aging: freedoms in aging, acceptance of age, sex and aging, achieving religious growth, laughing at life and death.

Clouds Over Pemberley: Sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
$3.99 – $12.99CLOUDS OVER PEMBERLEY, Temptation and Temperance, is a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Reverend Mister Collins researches a new sermon which tests the marital fidelity of newlyweds Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jane and Charles Bingley and others in the Bennet family. The sermon is at the urging of Darcy’s dowager aunt Lady Catherine de Bourgh who believes Elizabeth and the other Bennet’s are inferior in class to her and her nephew Darcy.
Collins’s research is conducted with the help of a tantalizing handsome young couple from Ireland that Collins assigns to entrap the Darcy’s, Bingley’s, and Bennet’s. What George Wickham and his wife Lydia are up to is very modern. Also off-kilter are Elizabeth’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. It’s an 1812 Regency serio-comic romantic romp spiced with some of today’s looser morality. Jane Austen might think it a bit naughty, but nice.

Princess Diana 2020: A Quest For Love
$3.99 – $10.99The Princess Diana story lives on.
Diana’s youngest son, Prince Harry, now 35, made headlines in late 2019 by saying his “greatest fear” is that because of several years of tabloid bullying of his wife Meghan Markle, she is being hounded like his mother was, and “history may repeat itself.” The royal couple had just sued a London tabloid for publishing Meghan’s private letter to her estranged father that fans the flames of their personal family feud. Prince William echoes his brother’s fear for Meghan’s and his wife Kate Middleton’s mental and physical health and safety.
Other Diana biographers have told pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of who she was. This book puts all the pieces together for a more comprehensive emotional portrait of the beloved but enigmatic Princess 22 years after her tragic and unexpected death at age 36 in 1979. We learn more about her through knowing about the thirteen men who were in her love life as she was on a quest for love all her short life.
We also learn about a woman who was Prince Charles’s “other mistress,” besides Camilla Parker Bowles, whom other biographers have not mentioned.
