Who is an elderly person that is also an author?

[kasey1720]

I need an example of someone who is elderly that has contributed to writing (as an author.) I would prefer that they are somewhat known and have written something lately (not just in the past.) Thanks!

Joyce Carol Oates. She is 71 and still going strong.

Diana Wynne Jones is in her mid 70s I think, and she's still writing a ton. She's a children's fantasy author and her book Howl's Moving Castle was recently made into an anime movie Hiyao Miyazaki (My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away). She wrote two sequels to that book, and the Chrestomanci series and a bunch of books for children and teens.

I think Stephen King is pretty old now. He still writes stuff.

Stephen King is getting older (in his 60s I believe).
Gabriel Garcia Marquez is pretty old himself.
