The Reason I Show My Support

I'm so stoked to be part of this hop giveaway.  Every year, I look for something to do to help bring awareness to this month.  I'm all about multitasking.  I decided that I'd combine my giveaway with promotion for an upcoming anthology that I am privileged to be affiliated with as well as awareness for October being Breast Cancer Awareness month.

A woman that will forever be embedded in my memory, not because she is gone from this world, but because of the life that she's lived.  She was diagnosed with cancer during a time when she was supposed to be celebrating one of the greatest gifts a woman can have.  After years of trying to get pregnant, she was able to finally able to have a baby.  Concerned about the issues she was having with breast feeding, she went to the doctor.  The outcome was learning that she had cancer.  The first year of her newborn son's life was spent being too weak to hold him.  She couldn't breastfeed as she wanted to.  Imagine the pain she felt.  It's not something that I would wish on anyone.  The family rallied around her, going as far as shaving their heads, wearing the wigs or scarves when she did and keeping her encouraged.  I continue to share and support causes because of Jen.  She reminds me to keep going in the face of adversity.  I will continue to share her story as I watch her family from afar via Facebook.

You'll find a giveaway, the information for another cause that I am associated with and helpful information about the true reason for this month.  Thanks for stopping by the blog.  I hope it is helpful and inspiring.

"Meet My Character (s)" Blog Hop

Hello All,

Author Cindy Amrhein (her blog: http://historysleuth.blogspot.com/2014/07/meet-my-character-blog-tour.html) invited me to participated in this tour.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share in something like this.  I am excited about this.  I love my characters and these sisters have a very special place in my heart. 

1) What is the name of your character? Is he/she fictional or a historic person? Nyema Dawn Norton is a fictional person.
2) When and where is the story set? The time of the story is within the last two years and the setting is a place called Tempa, Florida.
3) What should we know about him/her? Nyema is a Child Psychologist and usually the voice of reason with her sisters.  She may come off as overly educated and a bit stiff but she is a big kid at heart once you get to know her.
4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?  Nyema was born a twin.  Her twin died after only sixteen years of life.  It impacted all of the sisters but it hit her hardest.  She is a single mother of one beautiful little girl.  The father of her child died before their daughter, Nakia, was born.  Nyema knows loss and is very protective of her heart because of it. 
5) What is the personal goal of the character? Nyema's personal goal is to just get through life without focusing on the ever present pain that her losses have left her with.  The other goal is avoid establishing another relationship.  It is not something that she wants or feels necessary in her life. 
6) Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?  Oh that's simple, Nyema (The Norton Sisters, Book 3).  If you follow my blog or subscribe to my newsletter then you will be able to read the first chapter or a blurb as they become available.
7) When can we expect the book to be published? September 25th of this year.
