Please give a little introduction to your book:

Shirley: More and more men and women over fifty-five are choosing to get married again after death and divorce—though navigating such a path isn’t always a happy bed of roses. But the authors of Second Chance at Love: Navigating the Path to Remarriage have traversed these rocky shores and offer practical insights for those considering romantic relationships after dealing with devastating losses due to death or divorce.

How long did it take to write this book?

Shirley: Two years.

What do you hope readers take away from your book?

Shirley: That loving again after death or divorce is possible. Finding another mate can be successful—but there are definite areas to consider before marrying again.

What setting do you enjoy writing in the most?

Shirley: I have an office with lots of photos on my walls. The photos come from my past. One of me climbing a mountain and reminding me how difficult it was. Another of my husband, handsomely standing in his tuxedo from a cruise we took a few years ago. Past photos of my grandchildren. There’s a placard with part of I Corinthians 13… "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." A good reminder of how my words have influence on others and the importance of them. Of course, there are shelves of books—I love books—they are my friends.
