As the famous Chinese proverb says: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now. Age is not an excuse. It is never too late for success, and it's never too late to follow your dreams. Laura Ingalls Wilder was 65 when her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, was published in 1932. And Ray Kroc did not start McDonald's until he was 52.

Meet Ron Katz. A lifetime Baby Boomer, Ron was a trial lawyer for 40 years before becoming a Fellow at Stanford University's Distinguished Careers Institute, where he was inspired to start a second career as a mystery writer. He has written 18 short stories about a Baby Boomer detective couple, the Sleuthing Silvers.

Ron most recently published Baby Boomer Detectives in a Millennial World. The book follows private investigators Barb and Bernie Silver, known as the Sleuthing Silvers, who tackle complex mysteries in various settings, from vibrant art worlds and high-tech companies to corrupt reality TV shows and elder dating sites. Blending wisdom, wit, and vintage charm, they navigate the murky waters of crime and deceit. Together, they prove that age can bring a unique, insightful edge to solving cases and upholding justice in a changing society. Kirkus Reviews states this book is "a charming and witty set of investigations with an intergenerational twist." Kirkus also writes, "Katz presents a delightful collection of cozy mystery stories featuring Barb and Bernie Silver, an aging, married detective duo whose years of experience give them an edge."
