It’s Never Too Late to Shine On!

I’m passionate about reinvention, sharing my message that it’s never too late, and encouraging others in their own reinventions. Reinvention is the story of my life as well as my books. After 16 years as a teacher, I wrote my first novel in my minivan at 45. At 50, I walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of the adaptation of my novel, Must Love Dogs, starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. I’m now the New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Amazon bestselling author of 23 books including Never Too Late: Your Roadmap to Reinvention and Shine On: How To Grow Awesome Instead of Old.
