When I’m 64
When her husband of forty-three years leaves alone for a dig in Peru, sixty-four-year-old Eisel Jane McCord finally chases her own teenage bucket list — a house of her own and a great romance — with two suitors complicating the plan. Book 2 of the Lovesong Encore later-in-life romance series.
Whispers of Echo Canyon
Book one of the Women of the Canyon series. In a near-future desert community, five women aged 58 to 74 find each other at the moment life asks each of them to begin again — with Raven, a horse trainer and psychologist who can read fear in a skittish mare and a guarded heart, at the center. When old power tries to script the canyon’s future, the five choose to write their own. Pangman published this, her debut novel, at 73, and is blunt about the intent: older women are too often written as supporting characters in someone else’s story, and these five are not.
