about this book: I wanted to write the story of an older woman with plenty of baggage she's unwilling to give up just to begin dating again. What would she do if a very persistent younger woman kept asking her for a date? My character Deidre is a bit of a snob in that she feels she can't find a woman who is an equal to her deceased mate of 15 years, so she's stopped looking for love. She's also highly educated and works as staff developer for the NYC Board of Education.

In contrast, Kayla Zeno is a young stud, a city park ranger who is almost a decade younger than Deidre and finds her very attractive. They keep bumping into each at work and play. Of course, Kayla uses everything single occasion to make a play for Deidre whether appropriate or not.

I wanted to make the two women's stories memorable, poignant and at times humorous. I also wanted to put a completely different spin on the song. I believe I succeed when I wrote "I'm Your Baby Tonight, What About Tomorrow?"
