Hi! I’m Jockie Loomer-Kruger.
I’ve written my debut novel UNTIL THE DAY WE DIE which has just been released by Moose House Publications.
If you can hardly wait to hold it in your hands, even without knowing much about it, here’s the link for ordering:
If you want to know more before you order, let me answer a few questions.
Q: What’s it about?
A: Well, some kind of serious stuff. Here’s what’s on the back cover: “He changes,” Jenny says of her husband Rudy, who has dementia, “and I adapt.” But how can she adapt to his libido-heightened attraction to a new resident at his retirement home? This story, of deeply- challenged love, weaves past and present with tenderness, pain, humour, pathos, and resolve in a plot as unpredictable as the course of dementia itself.
Q: Where does the story take place?
A: In a fictional Southern Ontario city called Sonnenberg. The main characters’ backgrounds are in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan.
Q: It’s not a book for kids is it?
A: No. It’s for a mature readership. As one reviewer said, “highly recommended for men and women, the old and the getting there.”
Q: Does “mature readership” mean it contains some four-letter words that might offend some people?
A: Yes, afraid so. And for some, the subject matter may be challenging.
Q: Now, where did you say I can get a copy?
A: Signed copies are available directly from Moose House Publications. If your local bookstore doesn’t have it on the shelf yet, it can be ordered for you. And there’s also Amazon. As well, it will soon be in e-book form.
Q: One last thing, are you working on a second novel?
A: I continue to write for the joy of writing, but have no major projects in the offing. Is this the place where I admit that as I near my 86th birthday, I’m beginning to slow down a bit?
Jockie
