OVERVIEW
As a four-eyed 14-year-old super-geeker in 1976, Christopher Long couldn’t fathom ever reaching the ripe old age of 64 or what the world would look like 50 years in the future. Then, seemingly in a flash, life happened: parties and parenthood, mosh pits and missionary fields, breakups and breakdowns, concert tours and book deals, the PTA, the HOA, the TSA, the DMV, the IRS, and the local PD — not to mention a global pandemic. And as he finally hits the big 6-4, Chris has myriad engaging stories to tell and insightful perspectives to share in the pages of his upcoming sixth book, WHEN I’M 64: A Fourth-Quarter Coming-of-Age Story.
Deeply personal, compelling, and often laugh-out-loud funny, WHEN I’M 64 is a tour de force in unfeigned storytelling. Driven by Chris’ modern-day experiences and splashed with feel-good flashbacks, WHEN I’M 64 will entertain, uplift, and challenge not only Boomers and Gen Xers, but Millennials and Gen Z as well.
Assuming the role of a fast-living, fun-loving “wise old owl,” Chris writes with candor and wit as he reflects on his decades-long journey from 8-Tracks to A.I. Along the way, he reveals many of the fascinating people he’s met, the interesting places he’s been, the obstacles he’s faced, and the valuable life lessons he’s learned while traveling the world as an author, musician, journalist, missionary, and personal assistant to legendary rock stars.
Decidedly positive and inspirational, WHEN I’M 64 also offers a message of encouragement — showing that no matter where we are in life, brighter blessings are often just around the corner. Even during the “fourth quarter,” it’s never too late to get in the game, and it’s never too late to “come of age.” Readers will likely see a bit of themselves in the narrative and also feel motivated to step out of their comfort zones and take some wild chances of their own!
