At 72, John has discovered something that anyone who does crossword puzzles already knows: working with words helps you retain and improve cognitive skills. John advocates for keeping personal journals and finding your “voice” in writing, whether it’s romance, science fiction, historical fiction. or mystery! He’s been writing the Old Town Loves Mystery series for seven years and considers it to be one of the most fulfilling activities of his life. He’ll talk about how the books—writing, publishing, and marketing—have enlivened him beyond his imagination.
