Title: Win a free ebook from a prize-winning author
Getting
older has a lot going for it. But one of the negatives is feeling a
little under-represented in the media and downright transparent on the
street. Recently, with movies like Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Hope
Springs and Quartet, older people are finally getting starring roles on
the big screen, but there can still sometimes be a general feeling of
insignificance in everyday life.
The Senior Moment
When the transparent thing first happened to me - I seemed to be able to pass through crowds of people without being noticed - after my initial shock, I thought, what a great idea for a story! What if someone used their invisibility as a force not for evil exactly, but for perhaps less than strictly legal activities. I could already see the TV movie on Showtime. Right away I knew it had to be a mystery, with a little romance thrown in for good measure.

The
only problem was I'd never written a screenplay for television, film or
anything else. But I had written a novel. So my vision for the movie
(starring Judi Dench or Brenda Blethyn or Helen Mirren - take your
pick!) became a mystery novel destined for Amazon and a Kindle near you.
The novel is called "The Senior Moment" and is currently available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWF9ICO

I know that invisible feeling. Can be a blow to the ego yet sometimes convenient.
