A Raisin in My Cleavage: short & shorter stories
Lillian in Love (a novel)
Lillian's Last Affair and other stories.
I'm available for interviews, readings, visits to book clubs, being the entertainment at your party, talking about senior sex at your senior center, talking about love in senior housing, and any other creative ways to get the word out about my work.
Some of these stories are 5,000 words long, some of them are 100 words exactly. Some protagonists are old and some aren’t. Several stories feature gay men or lesbians, while several do not. So what unifies this collection? It is the interplay of heart and smart, facing off against the dangers of a viral wedding smooch, a scary staircase, a runaway supermarket cart, a disastrous online date, and a stolen sausage. Of course, you'll also learn about the raisin that falls where it shouldn’t.
Lillian’s life at 84 is tumultuous. She is moving to Manor House to be near Sarah, abandoning the demands of her own home, which has been colonized by her children. How will she and Sarah deal with the reactions of relatives, ex’s, and neighbors to their romance? How do two old women negotiate new love? Will slow-dancing, vibrators, and pot brownies help smooth the way?
“If I’m going to go after one more affair of the heart at 84, I’d better get my ass in gear,” says Lillian, speaking for all the characters in these six stories.
Ruby has a run-in with a waterbed and Catherine tokes her first joint in the bathtub with Victor. Elegant Anna’s introduction to kinky sex is bittersweet. And then there’s the neighbor with the strange attachment to the grocery cart. Sue Katz’s hilarious, tender, and impeccably written stories confirm that age fails to erode our eccentricities or dull our ardor.

Sue,
Congratulations on your new site. Your writing is strong and evocative. Principal Mong would be proud of you, I think. I hope.
Anyway, best of luck from an ex-Highlander and writer living in Boston,

Your article on partner dancing is fabulous! As a 12-year veteran of the GLBT dance scene I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the parallels between the roles we choose to play, on the dance floor and off. Made for a thrilling morning!
Thank you.

What a great site, and a great book idea!
As the author of a book about mature sexuality -- though admittedly tamer than yours -- I can tell you that Boomers are ready to be recognized as fully sexual human beings.
Is mature sex the same as younger sex? We know it's not. But with the right information, communication, and books/blogs like yours and mine, we can be having spicy and fulfilling sex lives at 60, 70, and -- I'm told! -- 80+.
I hope you and your readers will visit my blog, too, and post your comments: http://www.betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com

Sue,
Reading your blog, I feel I've crossed paths w/ a Kindred Spirit. YOU ROCK GIRL!!! As a fellow, life-long rebel and hip-shooter, I have a deep passion for exposing deceit and lighting up Justice to empower others, esp. those who couldn't or can't speak for themselves. There's a definite energy attached to that. I see our Boomer generation coming forward in new ways that operate outside the box and are pushing forward a new conciousness that this world needs to heal on many levels. In Gratitude for fighting the Good Fight!

Sue,
I love your blog! You are gloriously opinionated and write so well. Very interesting stuff. I will come back to read more carefully some of the earlier posts.
Even though I can't agree with you on high heels--which I adore--I like the fiestiness.
Let's link our blogs,

Hi Sue, Love your blog.
See what the Catholics are doing to a young lady in West Chester, PA who is trying to run a sex shop for women and couples.
