About
Hi! I'm Jean Shields Fleming, the founder and editor of Certain Age.
I'm a writer based in Greece. My novel Air Burial was called "soulful and unsentimental" by Publishers Weekly, a standard I continue to strive for.
When I'm not writing or editing, you'll find me swimming in the Mediterranean or looking after the demanding pride of feral cats who bring operatic flair to my humdrum existence.

Mourning (Becomes) Joan
Jean Shields Fleming remembers her mother, Joan. Fierce, funny, and flawed, and no less loved for that.
