December 2014 update:  in Story Circle Books Reviews,  Diane Stanton names my chapter as follows:

The most liberating lines were by Sarah W. Bartlett in her essay “It’s Never too Late to Start Blogging.” “Now that we’re retired,” she says, “we no longer need to follow any one else’s schedule or goals. We have the complete freedom to pick and choose… Moreover, we’ve earned the right to say what we think and feel…”

Second December update: interview with editor Carol Smallwood in the Rock River Times, in which she describes how the anthology came to be.

And another review in The Commonline Journal.

Original reviews:

“Unlike previous volumes which focus on how to earn a living while writing in very specific areas, this anthology accurately describes a wide range of different avenues an aspiring author can pursue, either for profit or for personal fulfillment. Speaking directly to retirees, this book opens doors to many other areas worth pursuing; its chapters vary from the inspirational (the importance of linking to a community with similar interests, reconnecting to one’s dreams, seeking inspirational sources) to the quotidian (everyday writing tips, and how to use one’s experience to find subjects to write about).” …

Chapter 16 – “It’s Never too late to Start Blogging” – is the one I wrote, with enormous gratitude to the wisdom and guidance of Robert Lee Brewer who started me and hundreds of others on the blogging path, most of them way ahead of retirement.

Both editorial and customer reviews are now starting to show up on the Amazon site. For instance:
