About the Author

Sixteen fictional tales of Essies, or senior citizens, created with exaggeration and humor, typify graying Americans as a subculture. Submitting to a quieter life after vaunted independence, Essies portray situations when dwelling in a community with many independent cottages and duplexes encicling an apartment complex. Written to convince readers that there is fun in life after 65, as baby boomers turn into Essies.
