Hilda Lassalette worried a little about divulging her age when she began writing a romance novel. She shouldn’t have worried.
Exactly 10 years ago this week, I wrote a column on a remarkable woman named Hilda Lassalette. She had just published her first romance novel, and was four chapters into her second, in what she envisioned would be a trilogy.“I might need a little help from upstairs to finish them,” Hilda laughed.
“A lot of people can’t believe I’m writing romance novels at my age. They think I should be sitting in a rocking chair knitting. Well, that’s not going to happen.”Hilda died last year at 105. She had 98 wonderful years, her daughter said, leaving it at that. The last years were tough. They often are.
“Amy, Jen, and the Demon” received 5 stars from Amazon when it was published in 2014. A year later, at 98, Hilda began to blog.
