86-year-old Utah woman writes romance novel

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An 86-year-old Utah woman became a first-time novelist by writing a steamy romance novel about a bored housewife.

Georgia Gorringe said it took her five years to write the tale of a woman who listens to talk radio and is turned on by the voice of a man she hears.

"And that voice on the radio, oh, he had a magic voice! And it just turned her on!" Gorringe said laughing during an interview with KUTV (http://bit.ly/1oXd2Hj).

Her adult daughter, Bobbie Posey, is proud of her mother's accomplishment but says she was taken aback by the amount of steaminess in the book.

"Sometimes I'm like, mother, how could you do that? How can you write that?" said Posey. "But she did!"

The 176-page book, titled "No Good-Bye," came out in February and is available on Kindle and Amazon. It isn't available in book stores. Gorringe wrote it under her pen name, Georgie Marie, and released it using a company that helps authors self-publish.

"Sometimes, the sound of a voice is all it takes to dial up a fine romance," the tease on Amazon says. "But can you really fall in love with someone when you have never been in the same room?"

Gorringe, who is a great-great grandmother, insists the story is all fiction, but her daughter isn't buying it.

"A lot of it is actually real-life," said Posey. "I mean, we know who she's talking about."

86岁高龄犹他州妇女完成处女作——火辣爱情小说


据美联社报道,一位86岁高龄的美国犹他州妇女,创作了一部有关一名平凡家庭主妇的火辣爱情的浪漫小说,成为一名小说家。

该妇女格鲁吉亚·戈林奇(Georgia Gorringe)称,这部小说的创作历时5年,讲述一名妇女收听“脱口”广播节目后,迷上了节目中一名男子的声音。

这名高龄小说家在访谈中笑着说道,那个收音机里的男子有着魔力般的嗓音,让书中女主人公深深地迷恋上了。

这名妇女早已成年的女儿博比·波西(Bobbie Posey)说,她为她母亲的创作感到高兴,当然,她也被书中众多的火辣情节惊呆了。

波西(Posey)说:“有时候我也想问,妈,你怎么能写出一部书呢?你怎么能写出这样的火辣的情节? 但是,她确实写出了。”

这部名为《永不分离》(“No Good-Bye”,176页的爱情小说,在2月份已出版,在Kindle电子书和亚马逊上能够买到,但书店暂时还不能买到。在一个出版社的帮助下,戈林奇(Gorringe)以笔名乔吉·玛丽(Georgie Marie)出版该书。

亚马逊有人评论道,有时候,一个美妙的嗓音就会开启一段浪漫史,但是,一个人会真得爱上一个从未见面的陌生人吗?

戈林奇,这个已当上高曾祖母的妇女,坚称书中故事纯属虚构,但她的女儿并不认同这种说法。

她女儿说,“许多故事都是来源于真实生活,我甚至知道我母亲讲述的是谁。”

"But can you really fall in love with someone when you have never been in the same room?" according to this question, I think of Netlove. I think it is similar. Of course, I do not oppose it or agree it, but I cannot accept it. It is unbelievable to fall in love with someone who has never been familiar with in real life.

I have to admit that a magic voice is very charming and attractive. Everyone should like beautiful sounds.

I admire novelist, and I like reading novels. It is amazing to turn ideas into words, to narrate touching stories by words, or to describe magnificent plots and sceneries playing with the words. Actually, in most cases, we have the ideas in mind, but cannot record them with words. All in all, I admire writers, and words are full of magic.
