I'm elated to tell you that Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex won two prestigious awards: Outstanding Self-Help Book 2012 from the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and the 2012 Book Award from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). I am an author, speaker, advocate for ageless sexuality, fitness professional, and contemporary line dance instructor. I invite you to visit my website at http://www.joanprice.com and to participate in my zesty blog about sex and aging at http://www.NakedAtOurAge.com/.Please see all my upcoming and recent events at http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2007/01/joans-upcoming-events.html. If you'd like me to come to your venue, please contact me via http://joanprice.com/. My background: For twenty-two years, I taught high school English in Italy, New York, and California. Then, in 1979, after a near-fatal automobile accident, I realized that I owed my life to my exercise habit and had a mission to share with others the joy of movement. I left teaching, became an exercise professional, and wrote five books about fitness and health, including The Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Book: 300+ Quick and Easy Exercises You Can Do Whenever You Want! and hundreds of print and online articles. After one marriage, several serious relationships, and more flings than I wish to count over decades of single life, I found the love of my life, artist Robert Rice, when I was 57 and he was 64. We were each other's Great Love, and we were together for seven years until cancer took Robert from me.The power, intimacy, and spiciness of our relationship led me to write Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex after Sixty (Seal Press 2006) at age sixty-one to acknowledge the challenges and celebrate the delights of older-life sexuality. I followed that book up five years later with Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex (Seal Press, 2011) after hundreds of readers sent me questions and comments about their own senior sex lives. I live in Sebastopol, California where I write and teach contemporary line dancing. I travel widely, presenting upbeat talks and workshops on ageless sexuality.
