Guest Post:
Hi Lisa and huge thanks for hosting me on your wonderful blog as I celebrate the launch of my new book, Boomerville at Ballymegille. Boomerville is a holiday retreat for guests ‘of a certain age.’ I’d like to explain why I often choose the older protagonist as the main characters in my writing.
Boomerville at Ballymegille is a retreat for the more mature guest, who can book a stay and participate in various courses. From a conventional art class or creative writing, to whacky sessions that include getting stoned with a Shaman.
When I was compiling research for the novel, I discovered that in the UK today one in three adults over the age of fifty, now live on their own. This may be, for example, though choice, death of a partner or divorce. I talked to countless over fifties and realised that many are lonely and unsure of what to do with the rest of their lives.
With my ‘Boomerville’ books I want to inspire readers with the message that it is alright to get older, to embrace this second bite at life and find ways to discover new adventures and friends and run down the road to happiness, not stagger unhappily on a walking frame. Boomerville at Ballymegille is a feel-good book about the older protagonist having fun, but it covers serious issues too such as abuse and bullying.
Many years ago, I used to own a country house hotel and this was the inspiration behind this book. My readers both male and female, consistently tell me that they wish that there was a real Boomerville Hotel, for they would make a booking immediately and if I had the country house today, rest assured I would turn it into a Boomerville!
Lisa, I wish you and your readers a safe and happy journey through these difficult times.
Warmest wishes to you all,
Caroline xx
