Silver & Still Burning Series
SILVER & STILL BURNING
Because Desire Doesn’t Have an Expiration Date.
Silver & Still Burning is an adult contemporary fiction series by A.G. Seymour celebrating people whose lives did not become less interesting simply because they grew older.
These are stories of women and men who have lived. They have built careers, raised families, created businesses, survived losses, enjoyed successes, made mistakes, changed their minds, buried people they loved, watched children grow, welcomed grandchildren, and discovered things about themselves they could not have known at twenty-five.
And they are nowhere near finished.
Across the Silver & Still Burning series, love takes many forms. A long marriage discovers what remains when the children leave home. A widow realizes that loving someone new does not require loving the person she lost any less. A woman who has never married discovers intimacy without surrendering the independence she treasures. Lifelong friends step boldly into another season of their lives. Established women enter relationships already accomplished, financially independent, opinionated, ambitious, and gloriously themselves.
Some fall in love.
Some remain in love.
Some discover desire where they never expected it.
Some choose companionship without marriage.
Some choose themselves.
And every one of them is allowed to want more.
These are not stories about becoming young again. The silver stays. So do the stretch marks, the menopausal hot flashes, histories, grown children, grandchildren, businesses, aching knees, responsibilities, memories, confidence, uncertainty, sensuality, and wisdom earned along the way.
The Silver & Still Burning series embraces mature bodies without apology and mature desire without treating it as novelty. Its characters can be sexy, funny, ambitious, complicated, romantic, stubborn, adventurous, vulnerable, successful, and magnificently imperfect.
Because aging is not the end of becoming.
Love does not belong exclusively to the young.
Neither does passion.
Neither does adventure.
And a full life can always make room for another extraordinary chapter.
They are Silver.
And they are Still Burning.
— A.G. Seymour
