This is so exciting! My latest Kindle book - Caregiver Burnout - is live on Amazon. This book is the second in the Caring for Aging Parents series and is the most indepth book I've written yet. A third book will follow, although possibly after I finish up and publish a couple of fiction stories that are waiting in the wings.
I've been online since 1997, and I have never been this excited about anything. In fact, I was getting rather burned out with all the sameness of the work I was doing. Now I feel invigorated!
It's going to be interesting to see how this book does as it is a more popular topic than Sundown Syndrome, but will also lead into the next one as well. I've thought about combining all three into a print version, and may do that sometime in the future.
If you are interested in checking out Caregiver Burnout, click on the link and it will take you to the Amazon sales page. If you do purchase and read the book, I would very much appreciate a "Like" located just under the title. An honest review would also be appreciated.
After the book has been out for a while and I get a couple of reviews, I will have a couple of free days for those who want to pick it up then - I will let you know when those dates are. Here is the link to Sundown Syndrome if you are interested in that topic.

Sundown Syndrome Published
I'm so excited to announce that I am finally a published author. While I have numerous fictional short stories on various sites around the web, Sundown Syndrome is my first book on Amazon.com. Sundown Syndrome was written as a result of my stint as a caregiver to my elderly father and my sister's eight years as a caregiver to our mother.
We noticed for a period of time that Mom would get agitated late in the day and several times left the house as if she were searching for something or someone. Both of these behaviors are associated with Sundown Syndrome that is closely tied to dementia. Mom had TIA dementia and Dad has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
This book was written so that others who are caring for their family aging parents or are at least seeing these symptoms will understand what is happening. As of this post, Sundown Syndrome is only available on Amazon.com. There are further books in the Caring for Aging Parents series coming very soon.
You can also join us at my website Elder Care Cafe for further information about caring for the elderly. We welcome your comments and questions regarding our book(s) and caring for aging parents. Hope to hear from you soon.
