So take heart, it&#8217;s possible to become a published author even at that age! However I had known for a long time that I had an urge within me which makes me want to write about things. It&#8217;s just that with four children &#038; a job, there wasn&#8217;t enough time or energy left over to do anything as sizable as a book. Once they had left home, though, I seized the opportunity, and got it done. The following year it was published in French, and now, in 2017, it&#8217;s being translated into German. Although I&#8217;m not doing the translating, it&#8217;s almost like producing a new book each time. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m now waiting for my second book to be accepted for publication. It is an introduction to the practice of Ignatian spirituality, and I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s in French only this time, the reason being that the subject is well-covered in English.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I only discovered my ability to write a whole book in 2011\/2012 &#8211; aged almost 60!
