I am a retired lawyer, who re-invented himself as an author, formerly from California, but now living in bucolic St. Marys on the southeast coast of Georgia. I have four children and four grandchildren. My passion is writing, and I love to travel and sample food and wine of the world. Here is what a fellow author wrote about me. Life Begins at 70 "After a stellar 40-year career as a top and nationally recognized attorney in his field (Time Magazine called him first after Martha Stewart's conviction of insider trading), Boyd Lemon followed a deep calling, and began the life of an artist as he neared retirement age. Following his heart led him to face a painful past, and re-invent himself as artist and writer. The journey as artist began in the idyllic coastal town of Ventura, California, then on to the venerable literary, music and art scenes of Boston, and finally to living the dream life of many an artist, a Bohemian year on the Left Bank in Paris, with a final few months in the hills of Tuscany before returning to California. Once Lemon started writing, his passion, combined with years of discipline as a professional, gained the notice of world-renowned writer and teacher, Natalie Goldberg, who invited Lemon to her prestigious year-long workshop for writers in Taos. His book, "Digging Deep: A Writer Uncovers His Marriages," is a memoir about Boyd Lemon's role in the destruction of his three marriages. This is a journey to understand one man's role in marriages that ended in divorce, confusion, bitterness and blame. The Pearl has been the journey of the writing, for the writer himself, and the peace that writing has brought him. Lemon lived on the cusp of the moralistic generation that grew up in the 1940s and 50s and the next generation that embraced sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, as well as equality and independence for women. The transition rocked all pretenses of his working class upbringing. The writer's hope is that revealing the path of his own struggle to clarity and peace leads others to their own awakening, as so many modern couples and individuals deal with understanding and defining the new order in relationships, as well as facing their own past." I have also published a collection of short stories about life and love in California and Boston, "Unexpected Love and Other Stories." "Eat, Walk, Write: An American Senior's Year of Adventure in Paris and Tuscany," was published on the last day of 2011, and explores the beauty and challenges I experienced living in Paris and Tuscany. During 2012 I published two short books, "Diversity: A Road Trip Across the U.S.A." and "Games," five more of my short stories about life and love, which I wrote from 2007 to 2011. My newest book, published November 29, 2012, is "Retirement: A Memoir and Guide," which shows you how I have, and you can, live a fulfilling retirement. All of my books are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
