Tales from the Escarpment (or Nearby) is a collection of short stories inspired by the lives of Baby-Boomers of the Niagara Region. A force to be reckoned with in their prime, the characters in these stories still exert influence, culturally and economically, as they age. And despite aging, they are determined to call the shots. They, like the ‘Slow-dancin’ Blue Haired Lady, practice self-determination even in the face of dementia! At favourite watering holes, like ‘Pudgies’, the music just gets better and better because geriatric musicians really know their stuff. The stories illuminate vivacious people with a zest for life and a continued appetite for experiences. Some stories highlight the value and reliability of long-term relationships. And other stories, like ‘What Paulie Took Away’, reveal the intersections where Boomer and other generations collide.
