After working for the State of Michigan and Oakland County’s programs on aging in one way or another for 15 years, Lynn Alexander is an expert on how to age well and the processes to make it easier. Her consulting firm, Your Aging Well Advisor, is keeping her busy in spreading the message regarding how to stay independent as an older person. She is also focusing her efforts on a new topic. Alexander just released a new book called Caregiver Tsunami. It's released by Publish America, who says the novel "navigates the rough seas of caregiving with sensitivity and practical intelligence mixed in with a bit of magic and humor." After a talk with Alexander, it is easy to see how sensitive and intelligent she truly is. Her book can be purchased at Barnes and Noble.
