Inspired by his wife's autobiography, "I'm Still Singing," author Philip Harris wanted to contribute his own story. His new book, "I'm Still Writing: A Man of Diverse Interests" (published by Lulu), covers the many interests Harris has developed as a senior citizen.

The chapters are divided into Harris's unique interests. The five chapters are "Arbitration," "Gilbert & Sullivan," "Punditry," "Bird Lore" and "Navy League."

The first chapter details Harris's time working as an arbitrator to resolve legal issues. "Gilbert & Sullivan" describes his love for the duo of the same name known for the comic operas "H.M.S. Pinafore" and "The Pirates of Penzance." In "Punditry," Harris presents a series of profiles of celebrities as a puzzle with their names scrambled at the end. "Bird Lore" includes pictures and descriptions of the birds that have captured Harris' attention over the years. Finally, "Navy League" describes the club Harris belongs to because of his service in the U.S. Navy.

"The book proves that retirement can lead to fulfilling, productive activity," Harris says.

Harris hopes that his book will teach readers that even in retirement, life can still be exciting - especially if one is a person of diverse interests.
