What if your greatest creative chapter could begin at 75? Mershon Neisner proves this possibility as she shares her remarkable journey from social worker to entrepreneur to author, with her first book published on her 75th birthday and her fourth completed just before turning 80.

Mershon's story dismantles ageist assumptions about creativity and reinvention. As she recounts her path through multiple career transitions - starting as a social worker at 21, launching a marketing communications business with distinctive pink business cards at 43, becoming a certified life coach, and finally embracing authorship in her seventies - we witness the power of staying open to life's unexpected nudges. Her writing career began with a simple encouragement from a neighbor who, after just two hours of conversation, insisted Mershon needed to write a book.

The conversation takes a poignant turn as Mershon discusses her first book, "Mom's Gone, Now What," which explores the experience of motherless daughters through interviews with 50 women who experienced maternal loss in various circumstances. As a "motherless daughter of a motherless daughter," Mershon transformed personal tragedy into a resource for others navigating similar grief.

Her latest creation, "It's Mostly Good to Be Martha," introduces readers to an 89-year-old protagonist who becomes an amateur sleuth in her assisted living community. The character embodies Mershon's approach to aging - maintaining vibrant friendships, staying physically active, nurturing curiosity, and embracing new adventures. As scientific research confirms, creativity and continuous learning protect our brains and keep us young at heart regardless of chronological age.
