Today I'm delighted to present a new romantic thriller bundle, "Last Hero Standing". It's a collection of stories written by an assortment of authors to benefit fellow author Pamela Clare, who is undergoing treatment for cancer. The proceeds from the book go to her fund for medical expenses. Regular readers of the blog know that my family had been touched multiple times by cancer so I am always willing to do posts that could help someone with cancer.
The book is only 99 cents for 11 stories! I've got my copy; go get yours!
I'm spotlighting one author, Joan Swan, in my post. Joan was never a star English student or a literature buff, but she’s always had a creative soul and an active imagination. Writing was a natural culmination of those two talents.
Recently, she left her day job as a sonographer at UCSF Medical Center after 22 years in the field to write full time. The muse must have been paying attention, because shortly after, she hit the New York Times Bestsellers list under her name and again a month later under her psuedonym, Skye Jordan. If you like red-hot contemporary romance, check out her alter ego.
This year will mark her twenty-forth wedding anniversary to her own personal hero, a veteran firefighter. They have two beautiful daughters and live in the heart of wine country on the gorgeous Central Coast of California.

1. How has
cancer touched you personally?
Cancer
touches everyone somehow—we’ve had it ourselves, we’ve lost a loved one to it
or we know someone who’s had it,
My
experience is a little different. As a sonographer for over 20 years, I’ve met
and scanned thousands of people struggling with cancer. I’ve been the
discoverer of cancer and the bearer of bad news. Repeat scans of those fighting
cancer have put me the unique position of following patients through their
fight from discovery to cure and discovery to death.
In this
way I’ve had unique view of how cancer affects bodies, minds, hearts, careers,
families, and finances.
2. Why did you
participate in the LAST HERO STANDING fundraiser for fellow author Pamela
Clare?
As a
member of the medical community for decades, I’ve seen how medical costs can
devastate not only a family, but a city, a state, and a country. I know the red
tape involved in dealing with insurance companies and medical facilities.
When
someone is battling cancer, they need all their strength to fight the
disease...and sometimes even fight the cure. Financial worries only drain a
person of the strength to heal.

ReplyDeleteMy husband has/had cancer. He's clean at the moment, but it's too soon to say he's cancer-free, only been less than a year. For a good cause I'll spread the word. Thanks!
