OUT TO LUNCH INVESTIGATIONS
After writing twenty-plus books for young readers I recently changed course to write novels for older readers. And by older, I do mean old!
Beyond sixty, at varying degrees of wrinkliness, and enjoying life as never before!
Who knew wrinkles could be so liberating?
The downside is becoming invisible to society. Perhaps worse though, is being perceived as irrelevant, incompetent, or both for no reason other than age.
Out to Lunch is a crime novel that takes one step toward changing that perception by featuring active, involved, older women who use their skills and experience to solve crimes when no one else can.
Old friends Darla and Maureen call themselves Wrinklies if only to bug the third member of their weekly lunch trio, Inge.
Inge, the eternal romantic. Inge, who refuses to believe she has aged, is easy prey to a scammer she met online. Inge might not want their help but her friends can't sit idly by while she loses her life savings.
But can they out-scam a professional scammer?
Out to Lunch is completed, but the Wrinklies are just getting started!
When word of mouth brings pleas for help from other seniors, the Wrinklies establish Out to Lunch Investigations with offices in their favourite restaurant of the week!
Out to Lunch Chronicles is a restaurant review. Predominantly for Vancouver Island restaurants, but after several road trips across Canada and stopping for countless lunches and dinners along the way, we also offer suggestions on where to eat as you travel across our big and beautiful country.
For example, the"Old Home-Style" Boston Pizza above, that we discovered in Parry Sound Ontario on our way back from an accidental side trip to Owen Sound before driving on to Sudbury.
Parry Sound
This is the view from the Boston Pizza patio, in the charming, friendly community of Parry Sound where we stopped for lunch and a quick visit. It was a beautiful warm day in mid-October.
October is a great time for a road trip across Canada. The heat, humidity, and crowds of summer have waned, and snow has yet to make an appearance. Usually.
The only downside is that some adventures such as a tour among the beautiful islands of Georgian Bay on this little cruise ship may have closed for the season.
