Call Me Frank: 20 Men Over 50 Tell It Like It Is

by Julie Ankers

Overview

CALL ME FRANK is a collection of 20 autobiographical stories of men over 50 telling it like it is at this stage of their lives. The stories are honest, sometimes confronting and always inspirational.

These heartfelt narratives are also a magnificent response to those sceptics who said that this book would never happen because men don’t reveal their feelings.
From being brutally bullied from the age of four at a private school in the UK, to finding love and intimacy at 82, to being ‘menaced’ by the ‘black dog’, to filming Sir Edmund Hillary’s Everest ascent, to working as an entertainer on cruise ships and then becoming an Anglo-Catholic priest, to dealing with cancer – the stories spring from the page with vitality, warmth, humour, at times pathos, but are always frank and compelling.

CALL ME FRANK is the companion book to Feisty, Fabulous & 50+, a collection of 21 ‘warts and all’ autobiographical stories of women navigating their way through their 50s and beyond.

About the Author

Julie Ankers is an entrepreneur with a passion for promoting and developing people, which is why she started a speakers and trainers bureau 24 years ago as well as a company focusing on retaining mature age workers and building effective age-inclusive workforces. This kick-started her interest in the over 50s, especially women who have been disadvantaged by age and gender. It also led to her taking on leadership roles in organisations such as Women Chiefs of Enterprise International (WCEI), National Foundation for Australian Women (NFAW), Economic Security 4 Women (eS4W) and Zonta International.

Three years ago Julie decided to make a tree change and currently lives in the Blue Mountains. She divides her time between 2 x 2-hour radio programs, her various board/committee commitments and writing – yes, she has already started her second book, this time on the lives of men over 50. Not forgetting her obsession with beautifully designed hand-crafted jewellery, her love of a good book with a glass of red, theatre, cinema and the exquisite beauty of the Blumos.
