This note is not book focused. It's included in this blog because one of our authors (Sybil Stershic) sent me a link to a blog post asking for help, and... since she is a part of WME Books, and the help she requested was for a good friend, I wanted to share.
At WME, we like to keep up with our authors, though, I admit that sometimes we fall short. We are working on that - on more reporting for author events and author book signings. We are so lucky that our authors are patient and understanding.
Today, I request that you visit Sybil's blog - and read the story of her friend Alanna Nelson who is dying of a terminal lung disease. You may also visit my marketing to women online blog, Lip-sticking, and read about this. That blog is connected to the women's market, and Sybil's request, on behalf of Alanna, is aimed directly at the women's market. This time, however, the issue affects men, also. Men whose wives or sisters or daughters or mothers may be in danger...of misdiagnosis. If you can help this cause, all women benefit. And, there is a fundraiser for folks in PA, that may work, also.
Please click through to learn more... and give a thought to passing this story on, thank you.
Yvonne,
Thank you for helping me bring attention to Alanna's situation and all families affected by LAM. Beyond being one of your authors, I'm privileged to be your friend. Thanks so much!
