Seniors Guide To The Dating Game, By Dr. Peter J. Shield PhD

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Single senior males and females! (Under 50’s need not apply!) Loneliness is a terrible thing. In my humble opinion it is one of the greatest factors in the ageing process. At 76 I am more agile and ‘alive’ than many 20 years my junior – I believe the principal contributing factor is because over the last 30 odd years my companions have been at least 20 years younger than I. It is also my conviction that this situation applies equally to both male and female.

Q: What is the book about?
A: It is about the methods I have employed to find suitable younger partners during my single years! I have never been comfortable living on my own. After my first marriage break up I formed a relationship with my then 18 year old assistant who eventually became my partner of some 11 years. I was 45! With the greatest respect to my past and present partners – these I believe will remain the happiest years of my life.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I was once described by a TV interviewer “as one of the most fascinating men in the world!” I’m quite sure she was exaggerating or had led a very sheltered life! I have just married my 7th partner! (22 years younger than me) – 5 of my 7 partners have been at least 25 years my junior! – I am 76 years of age. The book not only details my uncensored experiences with my first YOUNG loves, but details many of my exciting encounters since.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: My book pulls no punches and tells it like it is! (Warning – this book may be hazardous to your wealth!) Only the names of my PAST ladies have been changed to protect the innocent (ME!) In the book I try to explore the many options available to a senior in search of a YOUNGER partner! The subject as been treated as taboo by most writers. I am not ashamed of my many ‘affairs’ as I truly believe that it is only by continuing to search that a true ‘treasure’ can be discovered – a lesson I learned in my youth as an archaeologist! Once discovered however it should be nurtured and treasured as the precious ‘relationship’ it truly is!

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?

A: When I originally wrote this book 10 years ago (now revised) the sub title was “How to get laid for $17.95!” It does however address a serious problem facing most single seniors! For that reason I have completely rewritten the book to include the more modern methods available like Internet dating etc. Many seniors even today are not comfortable with the Internet and computers and the book therefore provides what I discovered to be a very effective alternative.

More Senior Moments – Getting The Most Our Of Your Golden Years, By David Wayne Silva

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | February 22nd, 2008

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Senior Citizens, baby boomers, children who are caregivers for their parents, and caregivers who work with seniors.

Q: What is the book about?
A: This book and its predecessor Senior Moments Are self help guides to lead senior citizens through both the good and the difficult days of the aging process. The book is filled with stories and positive suggestions that provide solutions to problems common to seniors. It encourages seniors to follow their doctor’s advice and to work with their caretakers to improve their health and living conditions. Depression, loneliness, loss of independence, chronic illness, pain, and poor self image are common problems discussed in the book. Seniors are urged to accept the challenges of aging.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I spent 48 years working as a teacher, school administrator, and family and grief counselor and over the years worked with countless senior citizens. I have been a counselor for seniors in my community for the past eight years. I also took care of my wife’s mother and father and saw them through their aging years. I am seventy eight year old man, so I have an understanding of the problems that accompany aging.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: This book is unique in that it was written by a senior for seniors. Many of the books on this subject are written by younger people with a PHD, but who have never worked with seniors. One senior woman’s comment stays in my mind, “At last. A book for seniors written by someone who has been there and done that.”

This book is different from other similar books in that it also deals with spirituality for seniors. The book is not a book on religion, but there are reference to the power of spirituality and prayer in our lives. It talks about the good days and the bad days, and is positive in its approach to life. This book was also a finalist in the National Best Books 2007 Award.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?

A: The book is filled with much self help wisdom. It contains both serious and humorous stories that illustrate positive attitudes for seniors to emulate, and is filled with much useful information focusing on a board range of senior problems. More Senior Moments is available most online stores such as Amazon.com and Outskirtspress.com. It can also be purchased by your local book store if it is not on the shelf.
