You might think I am a psychiatrist, or perhaps a guy Dear Abby, to write a book about what it's like to be single in your 50s. Nope. I was just single in my 50s. And I needed help. Over time and trial and error of many approaches to dating (and lots of therapy), I began to figure things out. Single-dom in middle-age should not be a death sentence to your sex life or happiness.
Think Steve Carell's character from Crazy, Stupid Love--when most men find themselves bald, significantly uncool, and suddenly dumped, they don't have a Ryan Gosling to usher them through this next phase in life. That's where I come in.
Oh Shit! I'm Over 50 and Single is any man's--and woman's--answer to that first morning of waking up alone. It gets better. Only slightly, but it does. From chapters like "To V Or Not to V" to "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" this guide touches on everything from the little blue pill to dating foreign women to sex toys to menopause with a robust selection of personal stories.
"I enjoyed your very authentic honesty and your sense of humor. Having been married three times myself (the third being a keeper), I can empathize with the large group of people you're writing for, both men and women. You're a good storyteller and you offer fair and hard-won advice." -- George
"Brook's tongue in cheek guide to after-50 dating packs a wallop of handy tips for the dating weary and dating wary!" -- Kathryn
"...very entertaining. It is information, funny, realistic, and well written. The book is delightful and the endless examples drive home your point time after time." -- Rich
