Wrinkly Bits at the Gooding Library This Saturday, June 12th, author Gail Cushman will be at the Gooding Public Library to sign copies of her new book: Out of time, Wrinkly Bits Book Two. Gail writes for an audience of a certain age. As an educator, mother, wife and Marine officer, she puts her lifetime of people-watching to good use by telling stories about what she knows best - humorous stories that make you smile. Gail is a former Gooding resident (HS teacher, from 19821996) and her late husband Tom was the magistrate during those years. She has written seven novels including a series of books entitled Wrinkly Bits about people of a certain age... 60 years plus with love and companionship interests. Her first book in this series - Cruise Time has consitantly received Five Star reviews on Amazon. Three WWII veterans go on a cruise together with their wives; a retired farmer, dentist, and teacher gather for a reunion and find a bit of adventure away from home. In her second book - Out of Time - a retired podiatrist is smitten by a woman on a cruise. Like a love-struck puppy, he follows her home. But her marriage vows still reign supreme even though she's been lonely and isolated for decades. The husband is a good man, and she loves him, but the spark went out of their marriage long ago. Realizing she has fallen deeply in love with Logan, she finds herself wondering if there is a chance for a better life, even this late in her game. Gail will be at the Gooding Library (306 5th Avenue West) from 1 to 3 p.m. to sign books, and to tell you more about her books.
