Who Are You When You No Longer Do What You’Ve Been Doing for Years?

By: Sally Bailey Jasperson

Who are you when you no longer do what youve been doing for years? It is the big question facing anyone who retires. It is something any retiree can relate to, and any retiree could have a story here. However, Im going to limit my stories to those of ballet dancerstop ballet dancersbecause their situation is the most extreme, I think. They start younger, grow up in a rarified atmosphere, mostly see only each other, and become more and more removed from ordinary life. They also succeed, which not all dancers do, and this leaves them open to a rare experiencethe feeling of complete power and control over a situation, as in a performance when everything just happens to click. I had such an experience once. I still remember it. It occurred while I was dancing Tchaikovskys grand pas de deux from the Nutcracker. This pas de deux is indeed grand. When the orchestra is playing full out and youre dancing full out, feeling every muscle in your body doing exactly as you wish, you and your partner are responding to each other, and the audience is responding to the two of youit is a heady experience. There arent too many like it. So when its time to retire, what is it like to give this up?

A Tale of Survival, Transformations and Wisdom

The Life of Ruby Walters

By: Sally Jasperson

After surviving a very abusive childhood, Ruby Walters got herself educated, fell in love with a law student, helped put him through law school, then married him. He eventually became an Attorney General. They lived a prosperous life, lacking nothing, but Ruby wasn't happy. She had a need to help people. She joined the Peace Corps, but then realized the people weren't really being helped. They were completely ignored by their governments. She decides to try to help, so she foments a revolution in Honduras. She is shot in the eye by the CIA, but, though badly injured, she doesn't die. She is spirited out of Honduras, returned to the U.S., and after extensive medical attention, she gradually recovers. She moves to Reno, NV to live with her niece. She doesn't return to her husband, who continues to shower her with money and cars. He doesn't understand why she stopped loving him. She dies in a local hospital, with her niece holding her hand.

How To Write a Chiller Thriller

By: Sally Spedding

If so, this book will help you create chiller thrillers with a difference, with memorable characters and truly chilling plots, drawing not only from the past and present, but the future too. From horror and the paranormal, to equally disturbing scientific and hi-tech developments. Bravery is the key. So, come on board! ,
