Welcome to the second episode of Season 2! This season is all about memoirs.

In this episode in Season 2 of The Nature Of Authors, Chrissy interviews Carolyn Lee Arnold, author of Fifty First Dates After Fifty. Chrissy starts with an icebreaker related to nature and another one related to writing.

Carolyn's memoir, Fifty First Dates After Fifty, is about finding Mr. Right and how it becomes a sexy dating project. Set in the SF Bay Area world of personal growth workshops and spiritual ceremonies, Carolyn's award-winning memoir traces the adventurous path of her universal quest for love.

The goal of fifty pulls her forward through the highs and lows of dating—magical and ecstatic, pining and painful—while her heart soars, falls, and keeps on going. Buoyed by her dating project, she avoids settling for the wrong guy, discovers the type of man she wants, reconciles a love of independence and sex with her desire for commitment and emotional connection, and finds the unique partner for her.

Throughout the episode, Carolyn and Chrissy discuss Carolyn's writing journey, writing classes and feedback, relationships and dating, the reason behind her title, and what inspires her to write. They ponder why sex is taboo and talk about book awards, the writing craft, the key to a successful relationship, and more.

Carolyn then reads two of her favorite lines. Be sure to check out Fifty First Dates After Fifty and connect with  Carolyn Lee Arnold.
