Dear bloggers and faithful followers! My book has finally been published! It’s been a long and slow two years. BUT with my newest publication Going Through A Maze I thought It would be a good idea to venture down memory lane–Why I wrote the book and how it came to be.
For those who havn’t followed me in the process– I wrote this children’s book during a difficult time, while I was caring for my sick father.
This book is based on the love and friendship built between a grandfather and granddaughter. It depicts the reality of a family member or friend struggling with cancer in a simplistic way that is appropriate for young and older audiences. The story ultimately is meant to help prompt difficult conversations with children relating to cancer or any serious illness.
Here are a few past blog posts I wrote from the time my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, to his passing, and then my grieving.
- We find out dad has cancer just beat it
- We throw him a “fuck cancer” party.
- The cancer spread- backseat.
- We get involved: LUNGevity
- A moment inbetween human experience
- Dad passes Circle of life
- Grief wishing
Please fellow bloggers I need your help. Repost this and help me spread the word. Portions of this book are donated to cancer research.
You can purchase on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and many other participating bookstores. Available in paperback or ebook.
All my love & many thanks in advance,
