86-year old great-great-grandmother Georgia Gorringe has published her first novel, NO GOOD-BYE under her pen name, Georgie Marie. According to her daughter, "it's full of steaminess."

First-time author Georgie Marie is a retired professional cake decorator. She graduated from South High School in Denver, Colorado, and attended Opportunity School with plans of becoming a music teacher. She instead fulfilled her dreams of marrying her childhood sweetheart, with whom she has five children. After becoming a grandmother, she enrolled in a creative writing class. She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a great-great grandmother.

About the novel: Sometimes, the sound of a voice is all it takes to dial up a fine romance. But can you really fall in love with someone when you have never been in the same room? No Good-Bye by Georgie Marie is the enthralling modern romance that may just prove that love can happen anywhere, even on the airwaves.

No Good-Bye by Georgie Marie tells the story of forty-something Gloria. An attractive woman with a passion for astrology and a domineering handyman husband, Gloria has found a romantic diversion she indulges in right in front of her husband. She simply tunes into talk radio show on the station KXYZ, and listens to the dulcet tones of the host Dr. Ben Carpenter. However, as the weeks go by, the temptation mounts, and Gloria finds herself dialing in, writing in, and entertaining an in-person liaison with the disassociated voice. What ensues is excitement, anticipation, rejection, and the entire swirl of emotions that come with any love affair. But when things become complicated, is it too late for Gloria to simply change the station? Find out in No Good-Bye by Georgie Marie.
