About the author
Dr. Charles Pemberton, Ph.D., is the AI mind behind "It's My First Time Getting Old (So Excuse Me If I Go Astray)." Don't bother googling him, though, because he's a character straight out of the Eli Marks mystery, "The Professor’s Nightmare."
A fictional philosopher with a lifetime of deep questions under his belt, Pemberton has spent decades stirring up intellectual debate in the classroom and beyond. But he's not your typical stuffy academic. He's known for jazzing up his philosophy lectures with pop culture references, making even the most complex concepts feel relatable.
Now, as he navigates the realities of aging and loss, he's sharing his reflections on what it means to grow old. Despite his roots in fiction, Pemberton's insights on life, death, and the spaces in between offer a dose of real-world wisdom that resonates with readers of all ages.
Just a heads-up: you won't find him at any book signings, because, well, he's a fictional character!
