Living Well at Every Age
2022-10-06 11:00 - 14:00 | Waunakee Public Library, 201 N Madison St, Waunakee, WI, 53597, United States
Íeda Jónasdóttir Herman lived a full and active life into her nineties, fueled by a philosophy that it’s never too late to try new things. In this live virtual program, Íeda’s daughter, author Heidi Herman, will talk about her mom’s year of 93 new things and Ieda’s photo journal book, Never Too Late, which chronicles of those experiences.
Heidi will also discuss her own book, On With the Butter!, a motivational book inspired by her mother’s example. It’s a book about active aging that’s been hailed by US Review of Books as a “fresh perspective on living well at any age” and called “an upbeat and sincere primer on living one’s best life” by Kirkus Review. Both books are available to patrons in the library’s collection.
After a thirty-year career in telecommunications, Heidi retired to pursue her love of storytelling and writing. She has been inspired by Icelandic culture and has published six books in four genres, including an American/Icelandic cookbook, children’s folklore, and women’s fiction. She is a member of the Arizona Author’s Association, the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, Women Fiction Writers Association, Arizona Authors Association, and the Non-Fiction Authors Association.

Heidi Herman was born and raised in Central Illinois, but her passion and a common theme in her writing is her Icelandic heritage. After a 30-year career in business, Heidi began writing fiction. She was inspired by her mother, Íeda Jónasdóttir Herman, after she published a childhood memoir about growing up in Iceland. Heidi wrote several children’s books based on Icelandic folklore, an Icelandic-American cookbook, and a novel with Icelandic themes. Her newest work, “On With The Butter: Spread More Living Onto Everyday Life” was inspired while Heidi completed her mother’s final work, “Never Too Late.” Íeda Jónasdóttir Herman (1925-2019) was 94 years old and had finished a year of new experiences to prove one is never too old to enjoy life. That message, along with her mother’s example, led Heidi to write her recent motivational book.
Heidi has lived in South Dakota for three years, and in addition to writing, she loves Scandinavian festivals, cooking, photography, travel, and exploring the outdoors. Heidi considers herself a second-generation life adventurer and is always open to the next challenge.
