Baby Boomer Author Takes Menopause out of the Closet
(PRLEAP.COM) Author and baby boomer expert, Beverly Mahone, is starting the first leg of her summer book tour with the theme: "I’m still Hot…it just comes in Flashes now!" Ms. Mahone says this is the new national anthem for middle age women everywhere and that’s the point she’ll be driving home to women at every book signing, television appearance and speaking engagement over the coming months.Her book, WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer’s Journey Into Middle Age, has created quite a buzz since she was featured earlier this month in a New York Times article. Ms. Mahone has been very vocal about her welcoming of menopause as a part of her life’s journey. In her book she gives readers a humorous, yet reflective look at growing older and all of the trials and triumphs that come with the experience.
With great candor and wit, Mahone discusses her own battles with hot flashes, weight gain, divorce and dating again as a single parent; as well as the complex dynamics of being an "older worker" in a youth obsessed society. "I found myself having my biggest hot flashes while at work. The newsroom can be a very stressful place. I began journaling my experiences—-all of them. And eventually realized that I had something to share with others."
Renowned author and Virginia Tech professor, Nikki Giovanni has endorsed Ms. Mahone’s book calling it “…the right story at the right time.”
Ms. Mahone’s book tour will begin in Greensboro, NC on June 20 with a stop through Charlotte, NC on June 21—-which also happens to be her 50th birthday—-and then on to the Washington, D.C and Maryland areas.
The veteran journalist spent more than 25 years experience in radio and television before becoming a published author. She is available for interviews and can be reached by telephone at: 301-356-6280; or email: bmahone@nc.rr.com; or you can visit her website: http://www.thebabyboomerdiva.com
