Book excerpt: Stay Thirsty Publishing Proudly Presents Forty Years Later - 10th Anniversary Edition (Newly Revised). An Amazon #1 Bestseller with over 55,000 eBooks downloaded from veteran author Steven Jay Griffel. A compelling story of second chances in life and love. Successful middle-aged publishing executive David Grossman risks everything to fulfill a promise to a woman he has not seen in forty years. When former teen sweethearts David and Jill reunite after four decades, sparks fly, despite his long marriage to Allison and Jill's LGBT reputation. Jill Black, a "one-hit wonder" Hollywood screenwriter, is consumed by her last chance to write and direct her own film. Success will reinvigorate her career. Failure will end it. When a pompous studio "suit" begins to undermine her authority and threatens to kill her project, the pressure forces her to spin from rage to murderous madness and she ensnares David in her dark plot. Love and betrayal. Revenge and redemption. For some it ends happily. For others it all comes undone in this fast-paced drama of Baby Boomers trying to hang on to their lives, their families, and their dreams. A riveting novel of suspense and humor, masterfully told by Steven Jay Griffel. "Griffel's narrative is a rush - sharp, spot on, and funny as hell." - Laurie Rozakis, Author, Editor & Public Speaker. "Forty Years Later is a great read. It's fast, edgy, but poignant. Steven Jay Griffel really captures the emotions of the Woodstock generation forty years later." - Les Kaye, Musician and Emmy Award winner. From the 120 Amazon customer reviews: "Lost Dreams Redeemed ... Everyone Wants A Do-Over ... Excellent depiction of individual personalities ... I reminisced in a dream like sort of way of my Woodstock experience ... Well written and easy reading ... I chose this book because at the center is the Catskills - a bungalow colony - which is where I met my future husband at the age of 13 ... If you've ever cared for someone and years later wondered, "What if ...", Forty Years Later is great fun, with a dash of poignancy."
