Carol Denker is not only the author of this book, she is a firm believer in new beginnings. After meeting and marrying Warren in her early 60s, she spent almost three years traveling the country to interview couples for Autumn Romance — her first book.

Carol holds a B.F.A. degree from Queens College, a Certificate in Psychiatric Art Therapy from Hahnemann Medical University and a Masters degree in Humanistic Education from Marywood College. For most of her adult life, she worked as an art and group therapist. She also directed a parenting program for five years.

Carol’s first professional writing job was as staff writer for the Star newspapers in Philadelphia. She became an editor for the Star and then spent two years as a freelance reporter. In 2004, she helped found The Spirit, a prizewinning community newspaper in Philadelphia that she ran as editor-in-chief for its first three years. She is also a longtime portrait artist and painter; her commissioned and original work can be seen at www.aportraitbycarol.com.

“Writing Autumn Romance, I met such wonderful people, who clearly deserved happiness — and then I became a witness to their late-life happiness! It was thrilling beyond words.” — Carol Denker, 2009
