A grandmother from the States is definitely proving you're never too old to follow your dreams. The 83-year-old grandmother has just published her very first book, now available for sale on Amazon.

While the newly published author has always dreamt of having her work out in the world, it took a stern push from friends and family to secure the deal.

@MaryVMacauley humorously shared that once upon a time, she couldn't even send an email. But today, the author has managed to navigate the sticky world of technology well enough to have her book available on the internet.

She wrote on Twitter:

"I am now a published author at 83. Not too long ago, I couldn’t even send an email. Very proud of myself!"

Mzansi was definitely proud of the gogo and took to the comments section, sharing congratulatory messages. Check out some of the comments below:
