Silver Boomer Books came about by accident – or perhaps rather – by incident, out of necessity. In an effort to produce a product exactly as we envisioned it, four women founded this small publishing firm in October of 2007. Three partners continue. The original idea was a collection of short stories and poetry about the baby boomer generation. This has expanded and blossomed further, as five other anthologies have followed Silver Boomers.
The Quartet, as we’ve come to call ourselves, was made up of Ginny Greene, Becky Haigler, Karen Greene and Barbara Rollins. The trio of Ginny Greene, Becky Haigler, and Barbara Rollins remains. We are writers ourselves, (each writing, at times, under a nom de plume) as well as co-editors, and publishing partners. The road we've chosen to traverse has been interesting to say the least; a learn-as-you-go process. Book two, Freckles to Wrinkles, was a breeze in comparison to our first endeavor... the scrunching, swirling, stirring, and eventual launch of Silver Boomers – a collection of prose and poetry by and about baby boomers. (can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and on our website SilverBoomers.com) We have learned so much…about ourselves, our ambitions, each other, publishing, and push, push, pushing until we achieve. We do not believe in deadlines. Rather... we set goals!
We now have a spiritual and recovery imprint, Eagle Wings Press, and Laughing Cactus press for poetry and fiction.
