What could be in YOUR mail:
In honor of recently being featured on our Book Shelf, she has FIVE books to give away to readers anywhere in the world!
At fifty, finding romance is hard. It’s trickier if your three best friends (Liz, Kendra and Jo; together known as The Four) sign you up for a dating site and monitor your every move. And, the challenge becomes more complicated when Jo starts competing with Allie for contenders. Allie eventually settles for David, an age-appropriate schoolteacher. He’s pleasant, but makes her feel sleepy, not particularly passionate. A chance encounter leads Allie to Jameson, a self-made entrepreneur. He’s brilliant, interesting and wildly attractive. He decides to volunteer at her non-profit, “Twenty;” he believes in Allie’s vision of volunteering twenty minutes or twenty dollars to the community is brilliant. They share the same sense of values and have definite chemistry.
The problem? He’s twenty-five years younger.
The Four consider her crush on Jameson inappropriate. Jo can’t believe Allie isn’t choosing David. (Or does she want him for herself?) If Allie pursues her feelings will she lose The Four’s friendship? Another issue? The possible wrath of her twin twenty-one-year-old sons. And, why would Jameson ever consider her as relationship material anyway?
Based on real life stories of unlikely but wildly passionate long-term relationships between older women and younger men, The May-December Twist is a tale of alliances, conflicting values and what’s important in the complicated search for love. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

I would date Paul Newman. I thought he was so darn handsome! What a wonderful husband he was and I so admire him and his wife for all of the good things they did to "give back."
I would go back to the years between 1980-1988 and date Tom Selleck. He was so good looking, and still is. Thanks for having the giveaway.

I'd date Joel McCrea during the 1930's, partly due to his horses.
A young Leonardo da Vinci - the epitome of a Renaissance man.

Harrison Ford. Since he is my age, at any point in his life would be fine (even before he became an actor).

I'd go way back and choose Clark Gable. Thanks.
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
I'd pick Robert Downey Jr...wouldn't need to go back very far. Maybe 2007 or so, because I think he was clean at that point and had really turned his life around.
1990s Brad Pitt
