About the Book

Book: Maybe Now, Maybe Never

Author: Chris Posti

Genre: Women’s Fiction with Elements of Faith & Later-in-Life Romance

Release date: October, 2024

At 57, Suzanne is marrying the man of her dreams, confident he won’t disappoint her like every other man from her past, but a phone call during the ceremony makes her wonder if she’s made yet another mistake. Widowed Rachel attends the wedding on what would have been her fortieth anniversary, wearing a wig on her head and emotions on her sleeve, when her neighbor blurts out a proposal for a wedding of their own. Uber-rich Marla captures the attention of everyone in the pews as she sings a surprise solo, yet her efforts to impress have little effect on the one person who matters the most.

While navigating relationships with each other, their grown children, their aging mothers, and most of all, the men in their lives, the women unite to rescue their hometown and their own businesses from a spate of malicious online reviews that are suddenly jeopardizing everyone’s future.

More from Chris

In all the contemporary women’s fiction you’ve ever read, can you think of a single novel that features three women over 55 as the main characters?

Hmm.

Still thinking?

Until I wrote my series, I hadn’t come across any, either.

Being over 55 myself, I decided to fill that void by writing about older women who still have a lot of juice left in them—women who stick by their friends, overcome challenges, care for aging parents, grow in their faith, champion their hometown, and have second chances at love.

In other words, Maybe Now, Maybe Never is all about characters I relate to, and if you’re a woman of a certain age, I believe you will too.

This is the second book in the Next Act trilogy. The first, Falling Apart, Falling for You, was released in 2022, and the third, ’Tis the Time, ’Tis the Season was just released in October. It will also be on a blog tour starting November 22.

Come alongside these women. I think you’ll enjoy their journeys.

Author Interview

  • Are you a one project at a time author or do you have multiple projects going at once?

I wish I could handle more than one writing project at a time, but for me, that would be impossible.  When I’m writing a book, whether a novel or nonfiction, I am totally immersed in the process. If it’s a novel, I’m constantly envisioning how a character might behave, or thinking about the physical setting, or how to advance the plot. Until the book is finalized, my brain has room for little more.

  • How has your life experience helped in your writing journey?

I’ve been blessed with an adventurous life and it’s reflected in the women I write about. Right now, I live near Pittsburgh, PA, but I’ve also lived in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Carmel, California. I’ve traveled to many countries, had my own talk radio show, and I’ve ziplined, skydived, and piloted a glider plane. I have been pushed out of my comfort zone more times than I can count. I push my characters the same way.

  • Who is your favorite author?

I can’t possibly pick one. But … I did “discover” J. D. Vance as an excellent memoir writer back when his Hillbilly Elegy was first released. At that time, I told my Marine nephew to read the book because that author was definitely going places, and it would be fun to see what might happen next in his life. Who knew?

  • Do you have extensive outlines when writing or do you write a book as you go?

I start out with some basic plot points and forge ahead until I realize I need to go back and edit the heck out of what I just wrote. And that’s when I wish I had done a better job of outlining.

  • Do you remember the first book you read? What sort of impact did it make on you?

I honestly don’t know if it was the first book I read, but Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson is the first one I remember. I loved how Harold created his own future. I read the book to my daughter and grandsons, but they didn’t seem as impressed as I was. Funny how books resonate differently with readers, isn’t it?
