Lauren Kessler (www.laurenkessler.com) is the author of seven works of narrative nonfiction, including the upcoming (spring 2013) COUNTERCLOCKWISE: One Mid-Life Woman's Quest to Turn Back the Hands of Time about the hope -- and hype -- of the anti-aging movement. There is real science (and real huckdsterism) surrounding the quest to enhance health and vigor as we age. Kessler, who writes often about health and wellness issues, is an immersion reporter who uses herself as a guinea pig as she explores the cutting edge of this evolving science.
She is also the author of My Teenage Werewolf: A Mother, A Daughter, A Journey Through the Thicket of Adolescence, Pacific Northwest Book Award winner Dancing with Rose (published in paperback as Finding Life in the Land of Alzheimer’s), Washington Post bestseller Clever Girl and Los Angeles Times bestseller The Happy Bottom Riding Club – which David Letterman, in fierce competition with Oprah, chose as the first (and only) book for the Dave Letterman Book Club. Kessler appeared twice on his late-night show. Her journalism has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles Times Magazine, O magazine, Utne Reader, Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Day, The Nation, newsweek.com and salon.com. She is a national speaker and workshop leader.
