In reply to E.W. Cooper. I also write historical mysteries and have found from Facebook figures that it's the 55 plus group of readers (all of them female so far!) who have clicked on the advert.

As a very advanced 50+er (that means you might have to add a few years to reach me), every word that was said here is true. Even the second time around books are marketed to younger groups; however, have you seen the wedding annoucements for the older set. They are there. Our bodies may be tired but our brains still work. Maybe not as fast as they used to, but fast enough. So pay attention to this and you might find yourself with a lot more fans.

Loved reading this! I’m preparing to launch a series aimed at baby boomer readers. I write romance, so this series will be in what some publishers call the “Seasoned Romance” category. Mine will be second chance & friends to lovers tropes, with a rom-com feel to them. I LOVE writing for older readers!
