Synopsis

Newly retired and excited to finally accomplish her dreams, Gayle Young soon finds that living her best life is not any easier just because she has more free time. In this memoir, truth and fantasy coalesce into one reality as Gayle weaves the art of her imaginings with real recollections from her life. Haunted by memories, she faces her demons and tries to come out on the other side, even though she’s not sure what she will find when she gets there. If there’s one thing she knows for certain, it’s that the ghosts from her past are as alive and colorful as the roses in her garden.

About the Authors

Short Bio: Gayle Young worked as a legal administrative assistant and raised four children while writing short stories, a couple of novels, and dozens of journals. Some of her short stories have been published in magazines-one nostalgic piece in The Birmingham News and one in the anthology, From Eulogy to Joy. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama with her husband and two dogs.

Sierra Tabor has been an editor at Bluewater Publications since spring of 2017, but she has been fascinated by the art of storytelling for much longer. She has been an avid reader and book lover since childhood and first began volunteering her services as a beta reader and editor in high school. She has a degree in Psychology and experience teaching English as a foreign language. She first began college with plans to major in English; however, in her first psychology class, she fell in love with the story of human nature and the concepts used to analyze it. When it comes to improving stories, Sierra likes to look at both the big picture and the details to assist writers in creating the vision they wish to express to their readers. At Bluewater Publications, Sierra focuses on developmental editing, which involves fine-tuning story structure, character development, and the context that helps all the elements blend together.

Maria is one of the designers at Bluewater Publications, who focuses on the interior of books. She graduated with a degree in art and digital media. She has had a love for both art and books from a young age, and she combines them in her work at Bluewater. Her goal is to create a pleasant reading experience that immerses the reader in the story. She does this through careful design choices and meticulous attention to detail, all while keeping it subtle, so the elements on the page do not overpower the story but enhance it.
