Author Chris Petersen
What do you do when you retire? Sit around and get bored? Or write a book that keeps people up all night reading?
Ecuador expat Chris Petersen chose the latter. He sits across the table from me at our Cuenca writers group (Writers In Transition or WIT) and each week shares a chapter of his newest book. He clearly enjoys using his retirement time in this way, and has discovered talents that maybe he didn’t know were there. Now he's doing something creative: giving away free copies to share his work with readers around the world.
I’ve been working on my own book, and have to admit I didn’t have the time to read Chris’s current book. But finally I did, and then couldn’t put it down. Here’s my quick review of Methuselah’s Secret:
I was locked in the moment I began reading Methuselah's Secret. Chris Petersen’s novel is filled with believable characters that come to life. It’s well-paced and intriguing. Franklin Stone is a person we all know, with his perfect marriage and thriving business.
Then a friend approaches him with a secret that changes his life, and the suspense begins. The author cleverly draws each scene while the dialog has an authentic cadence that makes it convincing and real. The book flows well, and I couldn't put it down. Now I'm waiting for this author's next work. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a good read. FIVE STARS.

What will you do when you finally don’t have to set an alarm clock and jump out of bed each morning to go to work? You might want to consider working at becoming a writer. It works for Chris! Or... you might want to start reading all of those great books you've never had the time to pick up. Here's a good place to start.
P.S. This book also is listed on Amazon, where it is only .99 cents for download. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Methuselahs-Secret-ebook/dp/B00AIRQ234/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
