EthelAnn Shaffer has lived on this planet for a long time – and she is a RED HOT interview!
The author of the steamy new memoir, The Last of the Red Hot Lovers – an exciting and unique memoir about falling in love at eighty.
EthelAnn grew up in the Ohio Valley area where she lived until the mid sixties, before relocating to Ventura County California where she has lived, worked and volunteered for a lifetime. Today she lives in Valencia with her husband Theodore, who is the other half of the duo depicted in this memoir (in the book they are called Eva and Kurt Miller).
Ethel Ann writes, “We knew one another as children. He spent every summer with his aunt and uncle who live three doors from me. Walking to church every Sunday, I’d see the curtains flutter, and I’d giggle thinking that Kurt might be interested in me. He was the first boy to kiss me, at a friend’s tenth birthday party, when we played spin-the-bottle and it landed in front of me. I remember kissing him back.”
The two have been married for thirteen years.
Published by Page Publishing, the electrifying tale captures the intimate and raw feelings each partner experiences as their romance develops. It also addresses sex and aging in a meaningful way.
About the new book:
The main characters, Eva and Kurt, have known one another as children. While walking by Kurt’s home on her way to church, Eva sees the curtains flutter. She giggles, knowing Kurt is watching. He’s the first boy to ever kiss her as they play games at a friend’s tenth birthday party. She kisses him back. After graduating from high school together, Eva and Kurt go their separate ways, marry, and have families. Sixty-two years later, Eva (a retired paralegal) and Kurt (a retired Air Force Major) find one another, fall in love, and get married. Although most of their peers have tucked away their sexual adventures as memories, these two can’t keep their hands off each other. This memoir answers the questions–“Is love and sex as hot at eighty as it was at eighteen? Do the body parts still work?” Last of the Red Hot Lovers captures the intimate and raw feelings each partner experiences as their romance develops. It also addresses sex and aging. Although Eva and Kurt’s love is strong, they face a shattering dilemma–Kurt’s adult children won’t accept Eva. It can be found here.
The Last Of The Red Hot Lovers is the author’s second book. Her first, Secret Torment, was published in 2004 under her then name Ethel Ann Pemberton, and can be found here.
