What happens when you dare to change direction in your 50s? Niloufar Lamakan's creative journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Transitioning from economics and technology to award-winning interior design and published fiction, all beginning in her late 40s.

Her debut novel "Aged to Perfection"  features a 60-year-old protagonist navigating dating and sexuality, what Niloufar calls "a rebel yell for older women to say don't write us off." For anyone contemplating a creative shift later in life, Niloufar's story proves it's never too late to reinvent yourself. 

Aged To Perfection

Sophia is determined to grow old disgracefully and refuses to be invisible. She craves fiery passion and steamy romance, not targeted ads for funeral plans. After a heart-shattering breakup, she ditches love to date a new man each week for a year.

As she flirts, fumbles and sips fizz through an array of encounters, from an opera buff in a cape to an orgasm whisperer, she discovers it's never too late to rewrite your own love story, even if it's not the one you expected…
