Local Author Publishes Book "Chronicles of a Grumpy Old Man" Ralph Pace, a Rutland resident and formerly of Ludlow, has published a new fiction book about the life of an elderly man entitled, "Chronicles of a Grumpy Old Man". According to Pace, the book is the product of many years thinking about his life after 90 and thinking that it was far more interesting than he had anticipated. The book is about a man in his nineties suddenly rediscovering himself and love but only after experiencing a number of personal challenges and renewal of memories that shaped him into what he was. It has no murders, no car chases, no violence, or heavy sex. Yet it doesn't need these gimmicks to demonstrate that a man that old can still develop skills and emotions once thought to be restricted to the youth and the challenges faced as age takes its toll. "It's unfortunate that we think of old age as something where we are just waiting to meet our maker. I, personally, don't believe that. I hope this book will make that very clear." The book, published by Amazon, is now available in hard cover form and, as a paper back, in large print.
Pace indicated that future plans will address the creation of an eBook for the Kindle Library. He is now in the process of writing a second fictional book about the installation of modern computer systems in a Middle East country. |
