Guest post with author Robin DeJarnett
Hey, everyone! Please join me in welcoming a good friend and fabulous author, Robin DeJarnett.
Help Stop a Killer
No, this isn't America's Most Wanted – this culprit isn't a mysterious stranger. This killer is much worse, and goes by the name Cancer. And it has to be stopped.This summer, I've joined Lisa in contributing to Omnific Publishing's Summer Lovin' Anthologies. The publisher and all the authors are donating the proceeds from these books to Save the Ta-tas, a charity raising money to fight cancer, but you can find out more about that below. What I'd like to do today is dedicate my contribution, a short story called Concessions, to my cousin, Susanna, a Cancer survivor.
She Saw It Coming
Cancer is no stranger, attacking both women and men I know and love in its many forms, but Susanna knew early on Cancer was tracking her. It'd already targeted her family. Cancer, specifically Breast Cancer, came after her aunt, who fought the disease and won. Cancer didn't stop there, silently stalking Susanna's mom. In 2004, Susanna's mom lost her fight, and Cancer stole from us a woman with a heart of gold, whose life work was helping children as a school psychologist.
Knowing she was next on Cancer's list, Susanna got regular checkups. She and her husband share a full and healthy life, but Cancer found her in her early thirties, a year after she gave birth to a beautiful baby. It was in the prime of life, as Susanna breastfed her baby, that the disease reared its head again.
A Happy Ending, With Your Help
Susanna battledYou see, Susanna has a daughter. She's three.
We need to stop Cancer now, before it takes another mother or attacks another daughter or aunt or sister. Whether you decide to purchase one or both of the Anthologies, or would rather give directly to a specific organization, please take a minute and open your wallet. With your help, we can put Cancer away for good.
Thank you to Susanna and her husband for allowing me to tell a little of their story. A fun way to join the fight is to pick up the Summer Lovin' Anthologies. Available in two volumes, Summer Breeze (sweet romance) and Heat Wave (fiery love), you can sample some great writing and kick Cancer where it hurts, all at the same time. Lisa and I are both a part of the Heat Wave edition, so grab a tall cool one and buckle your seatbelts – and help us stop Cancer in its tracks.
