Description

Join us for an inspiring afternoon as we celebrate the achievements of Janet Taliaferro, a 90-year-old romance novelist and resident at Waltonwood Senior Living, who defies ageist stereotypes and continues to pursue her passion for writing. We are thrilled to host a special book-signing event with Janet, who is believed to be the oldest active romance novelist in the U.S. This event, taking place on Saturday, May 20, from 1pm - 4pm at Barnes & Noble in Ashburn (20427 Exchange Street), is a dream come true for Janet as she shares her latest regency romance novel, "An Unreasonable Daughter," the second book in her duology, with the community. Her writing journey spans over thirty-five years and is inspired by her activism in civil rights, women's health, and her experiences managing political campaigns. The book-signing event, made possible by Adventures by Waltonwood, showcases how seniors like Janet are empowered to follow their dreams and share their stories. In a meaningful gesture, Janet will donate the event's proceeds to Educando Con Amor, a Leesburg-based program offering bilingual literacy initiatives for children and teens. This event not only celebrates Janet's literary accomplishments but also highlights the power of community support. Janet also teaches writing workshops at Waltonwood, motivating fellow seniors to chase their passions and share their stories. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to meet Janet, an inspiring figure, learn from her experiences, and get a signed copy of her latest novel. We look forward to seeing you there!
