Actor and playwright Kate Mulvany was just three years old when her parents were told to pick out a coffin for their daughter because she had terminal cancer — and it was all because of a chemical weapon used in the Vietnam War.

I'm pleased Kate Mulvaney is a thriver and achiever.

Councils used that chemical here in Australia to kill blackberries. It was sold in garden supply shops as a weedkiller In the early seventies. There were instances of higher rates of stillbirth and spontaneous abortions after the councils did roadside spraying with it in some rural communities—out near Sale in Victoria was one place, I think from memory, which had a high incident of miscarriages following kerbside spraying of weeds with the Agent Orange. Oh, they gave it a number name, if I can recall back that far. Silent Spring, the book was becoming papular with mainstream readers and making people aware of what these chemicals were doing.

This video was so much fun to make, I hope you enjoy it as much as Reg, the cats, Tabby and Valentine and I enjoyed making it. The cats have been using it for a few years now and it has made life easier for us humans. If you would like to know more about the amazing Litter-Robot III Open Air, its available in Australia.

​helped work to get it banned. A part of my work I'd forgotten I'd done. Nice to get to my age and know I knew a lot of people who worked together to strive to leave the planet a little better. Mums and dads, grandparents, single adults, teenagers and even children working as an educated team can achieve a lot. We fail and allow these things to happen when we do leave it all to the governments we elect and then just sit back and accept what happens. I'm happy that people polos stopped both the Vietnam war and the use of this chemical.

    Age 50-Plus Main Characters

    'Old style cozy' as in not a witch, or a cat, or a bad boy alpha male (the type this older author would kick in the groin rather than have her heroine fall for) in sight.
    That's the type of soft-boiled mysteries, and fifty-plus, older woman heroines who expects a man to treat her with respect, that Ryn Shell writes.

    Soft-Boiled
    Mysteries

    A cozy mystery is a good mystery novel without violence shown in the explicit detail of blood and gore and gritty details.
    The stories feature an  amateur detective and often take place in a small town or community.  If sex occurs in the story, it is either alluded to, or takes place behind closed doors in the older style cozies.

    Learning to run at 64-years. What did you learn to do later in life that your young-self lacked the belief that they could do?

    Staying independent and mobile, to be able to get myself out of a chair without assistance is my superwoman stunt at age seventy-five.
    Being blessed with an active and functioning mind, I can live with a mature age disability. I see this time as ideal to write mysteries full-time, tapping into a wealth of experience.

    Ryn, above, enjoying the gray (gray with an a for active) nomad life at age 64.

    Reg is still my partner in life and my love, although he lives in aged care. We have marriage by iPhone messenger, and visits.
    Reg approves of my plan to write romantic suspense once this cozy series is finished and published. He thinks my writing steamy sex scenes will keep me out of mischief.
