Luminaire’s first novel, Coming of Age … Again, will be published in May 2025. After years of safe singledom, recently retired Lisa West is considering a relationship. A night with Dan opens a door that she thought was closed long ago. On a sometimes humorous, occasionally heart-breaking, journey of reconnecting with her sexuality and understanding her body, Lisa encounters desire, resistance, and shame. She is forced to rethink what it means to be a woman, and what she is looking for in life as well as love.

Lisa joins a hiking club and spends the day reflecting on the lives of the women she walks with, while watching their behaviour toward the few men in the group. A humorous and thought provoking observation of the anxieties, absurdities and possible preoccupations of women in older age.
