Yes, I'm very busy with my own writing work this week.  But today's blog entry was too important a cause not to come here and tell you about it.

 

Patry Francis is a talented author whose hardcover debut novel, The Liar's Diary, was released last year by Dutton.  And this past fall Patry was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer.  She's had two surgeries and the prognosis does look good.  But as you can imagine, her energy level is pretty low.

 

The Liar's Diary is being released today in trade paperback and Patry isn't able to get out there to market and promote her book.  So other authors and the blogging community has jumped in to assist her promotion.  Over 300 of us are all blogging today about Patry's book. 

 

I pre-ordered my copy yesterday and I'm anxious to read it.  Here's the link at Amazon so you can go there and get your copy.......

And here's the link to Patry's website so you can pay her a visit

 

Also you might want to drop by her very inspiring blog at Simply Wait.  I don't think you'll be sorry when you read her very thought-provoking entries, many while she was in the hospital for surgery.

 

I thought it was great that so many are participating in this endeavor to help Patry and here's wishing her a speedy recovery and excellent health, in addition to success with her release today.

 

See you here next time........

Thanks for the "head's up" about The Liar's Diary...it sounds like a great read and it's wonderful that all of you writers are banding together to help get it recognized. I'm sure the author is thrilled with your efforts and I pray that she gets good results soon.

So very sweet and considerate. Such a nice feeling to know there are people that really care. I'll be sure to stop by Patrys blog this evening and send my wishes for a swift recovery.

I think it is fantastic that so very many people are doing this Terri....This may be a better way to publicize a book that hiring all kinds of expensive Publicists..This is so very personal...! Bravo to you and all the others who are bringing her book to our attention.

FYI: There is a house there, but it is below the "yard"...you can see the roof of their house when you look down on the Farm....! (lol)..we are in the Hills here, remember...!I often have wondered why the people who built that house didn't build it on the hugher portion of this land...It certainly is possible...The biggest factor is always money, I guess....The cost of building that way would have certainly been a lot more expensive..!
