About the Book

Book: Maybe Now, Maybe Never

Author: Chris Posti

Genre: Women’s Fiction with Elements of Faith & Later-in-Life Romance

Release date: October, 2024

At 57, Suzanne is marrying the man of her dreams, confident he won’t disappoint her like every other man from her past, but a phone call during the ceremony makes her wonder if she’s made yet another mistake. Widowed Rachel attends the wedding on what would have been her fortieth anniversary, wearing a wig on her head and emotions on her sleeve, when her neighbor blurts out a proposal for a wedding of their own. Uber-rich Marla captures the attention of everyone in the pews as she sings a surprise solo, yet her efforts to impress have little effect on the one person who matters the most.

While navigating relationships with each other, their grown children, their aging mothers, and most of all, the men in their lives, the women unite to rescue their hometown and their own businesses from a spate of malicious online reviews that are suddenly jeopardizing everyone’s future.

More from Chris

In all the contemporary women’s fiction you’ve ever read, can you think of a single novel that features three women over 55 as the main characters?

Hmm.

Still thinking?

Until I wrote my series, I hadn’t come across any, either.

Being over 55 myself, I decided to fill that void by writing about older women who still have a lot of juice left in them—women who stick by their friends, overcome challenges, care for aging parents, grow in their faith, champion their hometown, and have second chances at love.

In other words, Maybe Now, Maybe Never is all about characters I relate to, and if you’re a woman of a certain age, I believe you will too.

This is the second book in the Next Act trilogy. The first, Falling Apart, Falling for You, was released in 2022, and the third, ’Tis the Time, ’Tis the Season was just released in October. It will also be on a blog tour starting November 22.

Come alongside these women. I think you’ll enjoy their journeys.

Interview with the Author

• What does success as an author look like to you?
  Reviews tell me whether or not my books are a success. I’m happy when reviewers say they lost sleep because they couldn’t put my book down, or that they were uplifted by the stories, or they related to the characters like they were old friends … but I’m thrilled when readers say they were impacted by the gentle messages about faith. That is the real reason I write.

 

• Which character did you connect to best in this book?
  Maybe Now, Maybe Never is the second book in a trilogy. The main characters are always the same three women—Suzanne, Rachel, and Marla—but each book has a greater focus on one of them. In the first novel, Falling Apart, Falling for You, Suzanne’s role is a little more pronounced. In Maybe Now, Maybe Never, Rachel gets more attention. In ‘Tis the Time, ‘Tis the Season, scheduled for release this fall, Marla dominates.

 

• What inspired this book?
  The trilogy begins with the three women meeting up for the first time in forty years at their high school reunion. Several years ago, I organized my own school’s forty-fifth reunion, and that was the genesis of these three books. By the way, I highly recommend attending reunions. I have become friends with people I barely knew in school and my life is all the richer for it.

 

• What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?
  I keep a journal with a Bible verse written in calligraphy on one side and a drawing on the other side. This helps me remember key verses and it also inspires me when I need it most. While it’s impossible to name a favorite verse, I’ve always felt Romans 12:1-2 as my life verses. They speak of offering our bodies as living sacrifices, not conforming to the pattern of this world, and of our minds being renewed. Packs a powerful punch!

 

• What is your vacation spot?
  I’ve been fortunate to have traveled a lot over the course of many years. I’ve learned my favorite places are anywhere I experience true human connection, so for me, my best vacation spot has been anywhere in Poland. I’ve met many wonderful people and experienced places most people never get to see. Best of all, though, I’ve been able to develop a personal relationship with my first cousin Mirka and all her family.
