The many stories and poems are of all different genre's. Over 500 pages of words to wallow in. Isn't that exciting?
It's very special to me for a couple of reasons. First, I happen to be lucky enough to have one of my stories published in it by the name of Candlewick. I hope you enjoy it. Also, The Scribe of Rashid by Sharon Cathcart, one of my cyber buddies is published in it, as well. The second reason, even more important than the first, is that it's a work of hope for cancer patients across the world. All of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.
We all have someone in our lives, a family member, a friend or an acquaintance down the street, whose smile we will miss, because of this dreaded disease. I have two brothers battling cancer and have lost one of my aunty's to cervical cancer, along with more than my share of dear friends.

Congratulations on landing in the anthology! And I agree, it's certainly a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteThank you, John. I am thrilled to be even a small part of it.:-)
DeleteCongrats on getting in the book, and yeah it's a great cause...I have a story in it as well..."The Birthday Party"...I have the book, but haven't really had a chance to read it yet, but will try to get to it this weekend...it does look nice, if you haven't seen it yet...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Alan.
Thanks Alan! I do have the book. In fact I bought a few copies to pass around to my family. One of the copies is now on the shelf of Midstate College Library, where I work as a library assistant..
DeleteI will be doing some reading this weekend, also. Thanks again for commenting and I can't wait to read your story.:-)
This book is so neat! My mother, four years ago and now my mother in law have had to battle this disease. cancer is an enemy that the whole word can unite against. I would love to read something you have created, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Deb. It's a disease that affects the whole family one way or the other, not just the cancer patient. Hopefully, one day, there will be a cure.
DeleteI hope you enjoy the stories and poetry.
Happy Mother's Day to you!:-)
I will definitely have to get it. For all the good reasons!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sil, hope you enjoy it. Happy Mother's Day :-)
DeleteCyn,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting pubbed in the book! That's awesome! And a book contributing to such a good cause, yet. As always, you rock :-}
Hi Nikki, thanks for checking out our site and for being so kind to me. I'd love to have you as a follower, if you'd like to be one. When you publish your novel, I will feature and review it right here at Chicks In Lit.:-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Cyn!
DeleteI just became a follower. I don't think I've ever followed a blog before. I'm not much of a joiner. ;-D That would be mindbogglingly cool, to have my book reviewed by you on Chicks In Lit! Still not ready to pub, tho. Sigh. I did write & post a brand spankin' new short story (sci-fi) on my website, tho, if you should get bored & need something to read LOL.
Yeah! Thank you for following, Nikki:-) I can't wait until I can review your book. It will happen sooner than you think. Keep writing, friend.
DeleteAhem, about being board....don't think that can happen reading one of YOUR stories. :-)

Awwww, Cyn, you are so awesomely kind :-} Thanks so much for the promo for my short stories. Sometimes I think there must be a force-field around my comments section, preventing people from leaving any. ;-D It was so nice to get one from someone here at Chicks In Lit.
DeleteThis sounds so good! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I hadn't seen it before!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you enjoy all the stories. They are very diverse.
