Save the Child Book Launch 11/4/2010

I am one of eight authors that will have their books featured in the Goodfellow Publishing Book Launch this coming Thursday November 4th, 2010 from 7:00pm until 10:00 pm     at the Wright House Reception Centre in Mesa, Arizona  85201.

All of us have joined together to form the group Writers Unite to Fight Cancer. We will hold a silent auction during our celebration event to raise money for the American Association for Cancer Research. The vehicle for collecting the monetary contributions is provided by one of the authors, Lisa Finder  who wrote Black Sand, is the founder or White Lions Foundation.  White Lions is a non-profit 501 (3) (c ) public charity that provides nutritional supplements directly to cancer patients.

One of the Writers Unite to Fight Cancer authors, Barbara Lofgreen who wrote Generations, has Stage IV Lung Cancer. She serves as our Mascot – the reason to work hard to raise money for cancer research. Also all of us have been touched by this devastating disease and so we are passionately motivated about this issue.

Dr. Pamela R. Goodfellow is the book producer and developmental editor for all of the authors in Writers Unite to Fight Cancer. The other authors include: Cindy R. Williams who wrote Chase McKay Didn’t Get Up Today, Carrie E. Goodfellow who wrote and illustrated What Can You Do When It’s 102?, Louise Laughlin author of I Must Be Dreaming, Santa Goes Shopping, and Libby’s Vacation, and Anna Arnett wrote her memoir Lolly’s Yarn.

Please come enjoy the music, entertainment, auction, meeting the authors and buy some wonderful gifts for Christmas and other special occasions.

Daughter & Mom join Writers Unite to Fight Cancer

donnashellyDonna Richards and her daughter Shelley Rice co-authored the book, CHRISTMAS TREASURES FROM THE HEART. It outlines the wonderful times they spent with their family because of Donna’s  hard work and service to other people. It took her months and months to plan each activity. Her children and grandchildren look forward each year to the new activity that Grandma will provide for them. They adore this time together, and it means much more to each of them than just a simple giving of cash ever could. Shelly became passionate about putting this book together in a beautiful way in honor of her wonderful mother’s dedication to our family.

They  join with Pamela Goodfellow and other Goodfellow Publishing Services authors in celebration as they release their books. Each of them has been touched in some way by cancer. Together they formed the Writers Unite To Fight Cancer group to increase awareness and help find a cure for this dreadful disease by raising funds for cancer research.  In their own family, a sister-in-law and a dear friend have passed away as victims to breast cancer.  Donna and Shelly are grateful for the opportunity to take part in the GPS book celebration and fund raising benefit for the American Association for Cancer Research. The event will take place on September 25th, 2010 from 7:00pm to 10:00 pm where they will be launching their book, CHRISTMAS TREASURES FROM THE HEART, alongside seven other authors’ works, and contribute a portion of their sales to the AACR.  They invite you to make a donation to Writers Unite to Fight Cancer on-line.
