Okay, so you’ve probably noticed I rarely reblog, but I had to share this. If you are an author who has print copies of your books, please read this post and consider donating a book or two. Cancer claims many lives. It’s impacted my own family with many losses. As an author, Marlena Smith has come up with a great way to fight back, and spread the love of reading and books at the same time. Check out her post about “fighting cancer one story at a time!”

Perhaps it’s the writer in me or the awesome book club I’m in, but the first thing I thought about when I heard this was reading. So, from the main theme, I came up with this:

It’s good of your to share this, Mae. It’s just about a year now since Pat had her terrible diagnoses. So glad she got the all-clear just recently.

I saw this on another blog and contacted Marlena. I plan to send a couple of books soon. Great idea. It hits home with me since my friend passed away in January from breast cancer and my newest book was dedicated to her. I will send that along with another novel. I will share this post too. Best wishes! xo

Janice, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve lost several family members to cancer, including my father when I was young, and a family member last year who passed before the age of 50. Thank you for sending your books to Marlena. With enough of us participating, perhaps we can make a difference!
