Blog postJoining Hands Across Generations – Your Fabulous Sixties In Part One of our series on Joining Hands Across Generations, forty-something Tera Johnson-Swartz (founder of Midlife_It) posed this question to sixty-something Stella: If there were something you wish you could have told a younger, more naive you, or even a woman approaching or just entering midlife, what would that be? What's the best part of it - the sweetest, most savory piece you wouldn't trade for any flat-tummied-tight-skinned-dewy

Blog postJoining Hands Across Generations – Newly Minted Crones Cronedom is not just one generation. It begins in our forties and extends to the end of life, which for some of us happens in our nineties or more. At each stage we have much to learn from one another: Newly menopausal women can learn from sisters who were there twenty years ago, and the oldest wisest sisters can learn from women still working and raising children even while our bodies are changing. Learning and

Blog postFalling In Love With Characters I understand now why authors write sequels: Because it’s tough to walk away from your characters at the end of your novel. The lead women characters in Brilliant Charming Bastard—Rose, Joyce and Maxine—have been my companions for almost two years.
Rose Bingham spent her career as a professor of Biology at UC Berkeley. When I first “met” Rose, she was dating Brendan Burns, who claimed to be a physician and inventor. One night they argu -

Blog postSick of Watching – Try Shows about Strong Older Women A column on what to watch in lockdown should be obsolete. But as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again. If for any reason you are not vaccinated, please stop reading this and go do it now. But even those of us who are vaccinated are the stars of a real-life rerun, spending more time at home by the electronic hearth, a la2020.
To ease this odd interval, I wanted to share the shows tha -
Blog postThe Expanding Stellaverse I started the Stella project to push back on the nexus of ageism and sexism by reminding society that older women live vivid, passionate lives. To do that, I encourage women past midlife to share our erotic stories. My upcoming novel, Brilliant Charming Bastard, is in line with that fun revolution. The book was a joy to write, and I’m glad to hear from the advance readers that it is fun to read too.
Yet as this project unfolds, I’m thinking -
Blog postTo Conquer – End the Divide between Young and Old One of my favorite cartoons shows a medieval king in a gold crown standing on castle ramparts with a robed advisor by his side. Down below, a crowd of angry peasants gathers to storm the castle, half of them armed with pitchforks and the other half with torches.
“You don’t need to fight them,” the advisor tells the king. “You just need to convince the pitchfork people that the torch people want their pitchforks.”

Blog postFor Women Agency is the Issue. As I write this, the elected government of Afghanistan has fallen. We see reports – not always well validated because of the situation there – of hospital workers who hid at home out of fear of the Taliban, were ordered back to work and the women went in burquas, only to be sent home again because they were female. Western women journalists trapped in the country who pleaded for help as the country fell are silent now, their fates unknown. Afg

Blog postTowards A Diet-Free Revolution Dr. Alexis Conason began her career as a clinical psychologist with a goal to help people lose weight.
When she was introduced to the concept of Health at Every Size, she experienced a paradigm shift which she shares in her new book, The Diet-Free Revolution. This book encourages us to take agency over our own bodies and exposes the Diet Industrial Complex as an industry that thrives on its own failure. The Diet-Free Revolution will be a game changer fo -
Blog postWriting My Own Erotic Stories A never-been-kissed junior high school student, I passed around a battered, spiral bound notebook full of the “naughty” stories I wrote to entertain my girlfriends. I may have been a virgin, but that didn’t stop me from using my Bic pen to write what I imagined to be passionate and shocking situations. My protagonist did all the bad things I didn’t dare to do: she swore, shoplifted, drank fiery amber liquids, smoked cigarettes, stayed out all night in short skir

Blog postCare and Feeding of Your Sexy Novel: Publishing Without an Agent Welcome to the third part of this series on publishing your sexy novel. Here is where you can find Part 1 and Part 2.
Now that you’ve signed a contract, it’s time to move from manuscript to published novel. At this point, some agents become less involved, handing off the author to the editorial and marketing professionals at the publishing house. Other agents stay involved, acting as a sounding board for the writer
