Digging Deep: A Writer Uncovers His Marriages
A memoir about Boyd Lemon's role in the destruction of his three marriages. This is a journey to understand one man's role in marriages that ended in divorce, confusion, bitterness and blame. Boyd writes with brutal honesty about his insights into his role in the failure of his marriages. The pearl in the oyster was the journey of the writing, for the writer himself, and the peace that writing has brought him. His journey is a guide to others who have issues in their relationships in these times when couples and individuals grapple with the new order in relationships, as well as deal with their own pasts.

Eat, Walk, Write: An American Senior's Year of Adventure in Paris and Tuscany
Ranked No. 1 in Kindle Books on France in Giveaway during week of March 26th.
After a lifetime as a lawyer in southern California and three years in Boston writing, Boyd, at the age of 69, retired and moved to Paris to eat, walk and write. He describes in vivid detail the challenges of learning French; dealing with the French bureaucracy, public and private; facing the smugness and charm of the Parisians; while experiencing the joys of the cuisine, quaint neighborhoods, art and history of the world's most beautiful, vibrant city. After nearly a year in Paris he traveled to bucolic northern Tuscany and reveled in its scenic beauty, serenity and country Italian food, until a shocking experience sent him back home to California.

About Boyd--Life Begins at 70
After a stellar 40-year career as a top and nationally recognized attorney in his field in southern California(Time Magazine called him first after Martha Stewart’s conviction of insider trading), Boyd followed a deep calling, and began the life of an artist as he neared retirement age. Following his heart led him to face a painful past, and re-invent himself as artist and writer. The journey as artist began in the idyllic coastal town of Ventura, California, then on to the venerable literary, music and art scenes of Boston, and finally to living the dream life of many an artist, a Bohemian year on the Left Bank in Paris, with a final month in the hills of Tuscany before returning to Ventura California near his four children and four (soon to be five) grandchildren.
Once Boyd started writing, his passion, combined with years of discipline as a professional, gained the notice of world-renowned writer and teacher, Natalie Goldberg, who invited Lemon to her prestigious year-long workshop for writers in Taos.
